Because I'm lazy, I am combining over a week's worth of Easter activities in one post. Easter festivities started the Sunday before Easter at the John's Creek Easter Egg Hunt. The paper said that pre-hunt activities started at 12:30, and the hunt started at 1:30 sharp. We arrived shortly after 12:30 and the park was zoo. The line was a mile long to see the Easter bunny, the "make a bunny mask" station was out of supplies, and we barely got two strands of Easter necklace beads. E is too small to go in the bouncy house, so we sat around for an hour for the hunt to start. The park was nicely divided out by age group so the toddlers didn't have to fight with 5 year olds over eggs. The organizers let everyone on the soccer field about 5-10 minutes before the start. Mass chaos ensued. The toddlers wouldn't stand still. At 1:30 sharp (they weren't messing around), the horn went off and 30 seconds later the hunt was over! 30 seconds. Not kidding. Evan ended up with 8 eggs, and only because mom and dad helped put them in his basket!
On Tuesday night we colored eggs. Evan LOVED it. I boiled a dozen eggs, and when we were finished with the 12 he cried because he wanted to do more.
Evan found his Easter basket without much trouble. (I had it on top of the ottoman in the family room.) He knew right away it was for him and he dug right in :-)
After church we took a family photo on the front porch. (We took one last Easter as well, a tradition, perhaps?)
We headed over to Uncle Mike's and Aunt Wendy's for Easter dinner (yum yum). Uncle Mike dressed as the Easter Bunny. Ariana and Evan were a little unsure of the bunny! We had such a great day (until Evan had a meltdown because he didn't want to leave even though he was UBER tired)!
