Well, Easter looked a little different this year. For starters, it was HOT. Not warm...hot. And Carter wasn't feeling well the week leading up to Easter. He had a high fever that just wouldn't go away, so he was mopey and not very interested in Easter activities.
On Saturday, we did go to the bank down the street. The always have fun, free activities for families and they did on this day too. The Easter bunny was there, you could make crafts, and get snacks and stuff. He humored me to take a picture but then went home and laid on the couch most of the day. It was pitiful to see. He didn't really want to paint eggs either. In fact, he drug himself off the couch long enough to paint a single egg, and headed right back to sleep.
The Easter bunny (wink, wink) got their baskets all ready to go! And--thankfully Carter woke up Easter morning feeling more like himself!
They got dressed in their Easter outfits and they agreed to some pictures. Surprisingly, every single one of them turned out really well. I was so excited to get some new pictures of them!
After church, we headed up to my grandma's house in Millersburg. Though it was hot, it was SUPER windy. But we decided to eat out on the carport which was a fun change of the "normal" Easter. The kids even did a massive water balloon fight....dads and Pa included.
To say we had a lot of eggs for the hunt (for 6 kids, no less) is an understatement. We had 207 eggs for them...which they found in 10 minutes flat. These kids don't mess around.
After the egg hunt, it was time for Gramma and Pa's Easter baskets. We managed to get them to sit still for 2 seconds for this picture before they dug in! :)
