Eggstravagant Spring Traditions

The boys had their share o' egg hunts over Easter weekend & loved every minute of it! The Spring Eggstravaganza actually started off as Primary activity last Sat. in which they had to earn the eggs via relay instead of literally hunting for hidden variety & then were able to fill a dozen eggs per family with symbolic ways to represent the atonement, crucifixion & resurrection of the Savior. Each egg contained a printed description/scripture reference & object to take home & hopefully develop new tradition for future years:) Pics. courtesy of good friend Kristie Marcotte whom we imported with her son Seth!









Cole's preschool friends got together on Fri. afternoon for more Easter fun & games. Dane was, of course, just happy to be invited along for the ride:) Notice the Spring weather has so far left much to be desired as the boys frolicked around Skyler's yard in winter coats & rainboots considering we'd seen sleet, dark clouds leading to periodic downpours & only glimpses of the sun that afternoon?!









Then festivities continued on Easter morn wherein we decided that they could see the empty eggs laid out on Sat. night only to discover that the Easter Bunny filled 'em with candy & "hud" them (as Cole would say in past-tense) around our downstairs by Sun. We, I mean the Easter Bunny, included the dozen created @ the Primary activity that had symbolism instead of edible treats inside. Once they were sorted & fairly distributed in their respective baskets, that combo made for great little lesson & focus on real meaning of the holiday when we opened each after breakfast! Please disregard random jammies, but take Cole's advice & buy yourself some Willy Wonka golden eggs! They trumped butterfinger kind this year @ our house:)











Last but not least, Aunt Amy spoiled 'em as usual with an egg hunt @ her house as well-I actually had to go back to our house to grab our meager contributions to dinner that we'd forgotten on maiden voyage, so I guess no pics. were taken during actual spree but memorable nevertheless.
Guess we'll enjoy these innocent games now before they want to start hunting for actual chicks as teenagers:)
