We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. After church, we headed to my mom and dad's house for lunch with all the family. My mom had made a delicious meal, and it was nice to relax and chat with everyone.
When we were done eating, the kids put on an Easter program. Grant and Brady narrated the account from the Bible, and Mazee, Kaylee, Brent and Drew held up pictures to go with the story. The little kids even had some small speaking parts, too. It was a really special way to remind the kids why we celebrate Easter.
Next, we had our annual family Easter egg hunt. The weather was cold and rainy, so we had to stay inside. We split the house into 3 zones, divided the kids by age, and let them hunt in their designated zone. It was really fun. My mom even found some talking eggs that would say stuff like, "I'm here, come and get me." They were especially fun to hunt for.
We were happy that my grandmother, Mimi, was able to be there with us for Easter. We all love spending time with her. She told us a story of a time when she hunted Easter eggs as a child. They were hunting eggs and came across a bootlegger's stash of alcohol hidden in the grass. She said as they found more eggs, they would also find more of the hidden stash. Pretty funny! Mimi's stories are always entertaining.

Last, but not least, we finished off the evening by dying eggs. We had hunted plastic eggs since we were inside the house, so we saved the real eggs for later.
Happy Easter!
