I completely skipped Easter too.
I feel like Easter is often times over looked as a Holiday. Not as bad as Thanksgiving, but still, sometimes it seems exhausting so the traditions are let up. I have tried to make it a big deal, just as big a deal as Christmas in importance. That's why I loved Germany and Europe. While they really knew how to do Christmas with all their Christmas markets and fan fare....they also gave the same attention to Easter. I loved going to all the Easter markets in Europe, and quite missed them this year.
For Easter, the 12 days leading up to it, we do our Resurrection eggs. We try to really focus on the Savior, his gift to us, and his ultimate Resurrection and all that means for us.
However, we also add in the fun.
We always dye Easter Eggs.
Here are this years products.
We used a new dye this year, it was very messy...so I don't think we will use it again.
I have a good friend that does a great Easter Crack off, with their Easter Eggs. I think I want to start that tradition next year. It sounds like so much fun!
Easter morning, and our favorite event, the Easter egg hunt!
mmmm, me thinks Hannah ate something blue from her Easter basket....
Looking for that one, last, elusive Easter egg.
We never found it that morning, but Cora ended up finding it about a month later!
The candy was mush...yuck.
Our Easter picture.
In all our grass-stained, goofy finery.
