Easter at the Anderson's

We like to do our Easter festivities on the Saturday before Easter Sunday, so that Sunday can be a reverent day to focus on the Real Easter. This year I said "Easter Fun-day" and Easter Sunday. I only said it once, but it stuck. (That's not to say that a reverent Sunday isn't also fun.)


John did a really cool experimental style of pressing the egg on a napkin down in the egg carton and dripping the dye on it with a straw. It made a pretty neat design as it cascaded down the egg, but the coolest part was the design that the napkin had imprinted on the bottom. John's awesome. We all had fun coloring eggs. I love that part of Easter. I think we should do it all the time. :)


The hunt with the boys this year was even more fun than last year. Jonathan was darting all over the yard, letting out little gasps and putting on extra bursts of speed when he saw an egg.


Seth even knew the game. He was so cute when he found one, laughing and pointing to it, so excited.


Easter egg hunts are so so fun as parents of 2 and 4 year old children.


This year in their eggs they had mixes of cracker whales, raisins, pistachios, peanuts, fruit snacks, chocolate teddy grahams, and a few jelly beans. I love watching the discovery when they open the eggs.

Little boys know how to get the job done when it comes to eating treats.


It's pretty serious business there for a while. Seth was especially intent, not even looking up at all. :)


This of course is a teddy graham growl.


And grandparents always add to the magic. :) Even for me.




I probably had as much fun as they did (or more) just watching them do the whole hunt and enjoy their treats. Family Rocks.
