Easter Fun

On Friday, we had a cousins playdate. Which we try to do once a month. We (meaning Sarah) had the idea to decorate eggs. We got the colors all ready, and about ten minutes into it the boys were done. We still had like ten eggs to do. So us moms had a playdate, and finished coloring them. Which I was actually glad, as I love coloring eggs (those that know me well, know I love doing all the "holiday activities" - like carving pumpkins and stuff). Grandma Easton had planned an egg hunt for the grandkids in her front yard. This was the first year that Graham was interested in participating. He actually got more eggs than any of his other cousins! Isaac (his cousin 9 months younger than him) dumped his basket out and Graham was standing there watching, he decided to take advantage of the situation and proceeded to pick up Isaacs eggs and put them in his basket. That night we celebrated Sarah's birthday. It is always really fun when we get together!
On Saturday, we got together with some friends that don't have family in town. We had another egg hunt, in which Graham (now knowing the object of the "game") totally ditched his basket and began picking up as many as possible with his hands, since he could get more that way. He remembered (from the prior egg hunt) that there was candy inside and decided he didn't want to pick any more up, he would rather eat the goodies inside. We later had an Easter dinner together. We each were in charge of specific dishes and it came together so well. It was really nice not having to do the entire meal by ourselves and it was so delicious! It was a really fun night!
Sunday morning we made a basket of goodies for Graham and put it in front of his door before he woke up. When he opened his door, he was so excited! He got Dumbo the movie (he is currently obsessed with elephants or "elphies"), and we put some candy in from his egg hunts. After church we went to my parents for dinner, and began watching, as tradition requires, the Ten Commandments. We came home before it was over, but I have seen it like... well, too many times!
It was a great Easter weekend, with lots of uplifting words at church about Christ and His atonement for us.
