We had a lovely, quiet Easter this year. Mass in the morning, lunch and quiet time, then the afternoon at my parents house and Grandma Kathleen joined us too. We did some fun activities during the Triduum as well.
Dying Easter eggs is always a hit, and we actually eat them all too. My big boys love had boiled eggs.
It’s a fun year with Elias because he doesn’t really remember many family traditions yet, but when you’re three they start to stick. He will remember next year and be even more excited.
We went to an Easter egg hunt in a nearby neighborhood which we will never do again. GIANT crowd. We only lost one boy for about 5 minutes and we found him sitting in one place crying because he didn’t get a single egg. There were that many people. He ended up with some treats in the end.
Treats on Easter morning. The boys have been begging for chalk so it was a good surprise.
We had a nice breakfast together with paper goods I found in the closet from last year when we hosted the whole family.
The boys love to wear their suits, so everyone sported them for G&G’s house.
The kids had lots of fun hunting for eggs in the backyard, which were full of bunnies and jelly beans!
Elias got the hang of it quickly, but only liked the bunnies. He doesn’t like jelly beans because they stick to his teeth too much.
Probably our last family photo with baby on the inside!
I was in charge of deviled eggs, and decided to make three kinds for fun. The guacamole eggs were a hit.
Augustine was in charge of making the Croatian nutbread and did a great job with Grandma again this year.
