Matthew and Lilly had a blast this Easter!! I love that they are both at an age where they really enjoy holidays! This year our mom and tots group from church had an Easter party a few days before the big day!
We had an Easter egg hunt, the kids played and made cute bunny ears! Matthew willingly posed for a picture but I couldn't get Lilly to wear hers. (There was also face painting but neither of my kids wanted anything to do with that.)
After we came home from our party there was a package waiting for the kids from their Grandma Bev! The package was full of Easter goodies!! Matthew was so excited he loves to get mail!!!
The night before Easter Sunday we colored eggs! We always do it in the yard so that the kids don't have to worry about making a big mess, and they can really enjoy the experience!
One of the goodies out of Grandma's package was this cute little bag of Jelly beans, with instructions to bury the beans and something will grow over night!
Matthew was so excited to give the beans a try! He buried the beans in a little planter and couldn't wait till the next morning!
The next morning the first thing out of Matthew's mouth was, "did something grow!"
After seeing what the Easter Bunny Brought and getting ready for church we checked the beans! And Matthew was thrilled to see that two flower shaped lolly pops had grown where we had plated the beans!!
After church we went over to my parents for an Easter lunch and an egg hunt!

Auntie Momo helped Lilly find eggs!!
While Grandma helped Matthew find eggs!!
We had a very enjoyable Easter!! Matthew has really started to understand the religious roots surrounding certain holidays! We have a book for children that explains the true meaning behind Easter with quotes from the scriptures, Matthew loves for me to read it to him and then he tries to retell it to me!
