Easter is a holiday I struggle with a bit. Seeing as we aren’t religious there’s really no good reason for it, and now that the kids have outgrown cute little toys in baskets, it’s mostly just a candy buffet on the piano. However, they always want to do Easter and color eggs and we always have fun. As I was scrolling through social media the other day I came across a lovely quote about Easter being the time when the Earth is awakening after a long winter, a time when we celebrate new life and a fresh start. I connected with that quote and felt a little more inspired to celebrate the holiday.<\/p>\n

We decorated the house last week, decorated eggs on Sunday morning, ate way to much candy, reminisced about the time both kids threw up at Grandma Pat’s house because she fed them too much chocolate (why can’t I find that blog post?!) and hid\/found\/rehid\/refound eggs. It was a nice day all around.<\/p>\n

They did play with the bubbles too. Inside, which wasn’t my goal, but oh well.<\/p><\/div>\n

They still like a good egg hunt! No construction vehicles or large dumpsters to hide the eggs on this year.<\/p><\/div>\n

Huxley found the first one!! I had to keep him on a tighter lead after that. 😂 He didn’t eat it, don’t worry.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Among Us eggs, because why not.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

We are still missing one….. No one used the cute baskets to find eggs this year. They remained on the candy buffet while bowls, egg crates, and pockets were used to gather eggs.<\/p><\/div>\n

Happy Easter, regardless of exactly what you are celebrating! I tried to find that inspirational quote again, but couldn’t, so I settled for this one instead. :)<\/p>\n
