This year, I had two kids who could NOT wait for Good Friday and Easter. This is all we heard about for weeks leading up to the weekend and all we did is count down to “Easter Day”. 😉

On Friday, we had our Seder meal. I love this! We didn’t get to do it last year because Jon was in a class, but we did it two years ago and loved it. Parker didn’t remember it at all, but Nathan remembered it a little bit and so he was so excited to do it again. We sat in the dining room and Nathan made everyone place cards so they knew where to sit. Love that. 🙂

The kids were so cute. They LOVED it. And we had such a great discussion over dinner about why Jesus died for us!

Eisley was a huge fan of the Haroset (basically, it’s chopped apples and we subbed raisins for the walnuts) and the “New Life” dessert (aka dirt cups). 😉 And notice Kody has long since figure out that wherever that high chair goes is his best chance for some crumbs.

Saturday, our dear friends Eric, Shannon and Baby James came over and the men and Nathan cut down and then dug out the giant, dead tree in our yard. SO thankful for them!! It looks like an asteroid hit our backyard, but we were so thankful for his help. Jon was moving so slowly that night – ha! It was hard work!

And then….it was Easter Day!! We got up early and went to the sunrise service at the football stadium. We ate donuts and sang songs and it was really good. Then we came home and changed out of our sweatshirts and into our Easter clothes.

Every year our Easter baskets get a little bit simpler… 😉 Ha! This year, we primarily gave books and chocolate. The boys each got a little Lego thing and Eisley got some bracelets.

We hosted an Easter brunch again and it was so much fun!! I love this new little tradition.

The whole family. 🙂 We didn’t get one of the entire group!

Eisley’s first egg hunt was hilarious – we were laughing so hard. She was all about that basket and those eggs. And every time she bent down to get an egg, all the other ones would fall out of the basket because she was not going to set that basket down. So funny!

We spent basically the entire day outside. After everyone left, we did a few things in the yard and then we went on a little bike ride down one of the paths by our house. The kids took turns racing each other and doing tricks and it was just such a fun time!

Notice the pinky up – ha! She’s so girly and I love it so much!! But at the same time, as soon as we got back home, she parked her skirt right in the dirt and just dug around in there for the rest of the night.

Such a fun Easter!! He is risen!!
