Easter Part 2

Like I previously mentioned, we enjoyed the “secular” part of Easter this year as well. Kyler and I colored eggs on Friday. I didn't even attempt for Caden to help me because that would have been a disaster! He might be 2, but in many ways, he is less than 2. I figure we'll try to include him more next year as things might be much easier for him then.

All ready with our eggs!

Such a silly boy!

There he is with the finished eggs :)


On Easter Sunday morning, Greg and Kyler went to Power Balance Pavilion (formerly Arco Arena) to volunteer for an event put on by a local Sunday church. There were about 40 people from our church who volunteered to help with childcare for their event. Greg's job was to help with a craft table. He had to monitor kids using glitter glue and other fun things in very strong winds outside. There were lots of fun activities for the kids, including jump houses. Kyler had a blast.

Then, in the afternoon, after Caden's nap, the boys did a small egg hunt in our backyard. Caden didn't quite get the idea of putting the eggs into his basket, but he did find one of them all on his own. He picked it up and then promptly threw it back where he found it. :) Then Greg helped him find a couple more.

Kyler on the other hand, ran around like a crazy person from one spot to another. There was no rhyme or reason to the direction he was running, except that he was just wound up! It was pretty funny to watch. He found all but three eggs which Caden found.

Before I could even sit Caden down next to Kyler to get a picture of them with their egg-filled baskets, Kyler had all his eggs open and all over the ground. He was pretty happy with his work!

After the egg hunt - see all Kyler's open eggs?!

I love these kids!


I would say it was a good Easter. We had a lot of fun this year and I suspect as the kids get older, we will enjoy it more and more as they begin to recognize the significance of the occasion.
