Easter celebrations

The boys were excited to meet the Easter bunny. Silas was a little unsure at first, but after the bunny gave him an egg with candy in it, he warmed right up.

The Main Street Market in Wellington held an Easter carnival of sorts on Saturday morning. The boys had a lot of fun playing carnival games around the store and winning little toys and candy. Silas discovered that when playing the ring toss, it's a lot more effective to just walk up and place the ring over the stick. Below, Eli is playing the bean-bag toss while the mayor is cheering him on.

On Saturday night, we dyed Easter eggs! Eli was so excited!

The finished product...I'm not sure who had more fun, the adults or the kids!

Easter Sunday in their matching suits...so adorable!

My new favorite photo of my 3 guys...notice the matching ties? :)

After a meaningful church service celebrating our risen Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, we had a huge potluck meal at our friends' house with a lot of other families. Thanks for hosting, Josephsons!

Easter egg hunt!




Sunday evening the boys got to open their Easter baskets, which they were thrilled about! We also told the story of the crucifixion and resurrection using the Resurrection Eggs Grandpa and Grandma Dik sent us in the mail. Eli especially got into the story. Thanks so much!

What fun pictures, Amy! How did you manage to find everything to match for the boys? Good job! It looks like you had a great Easter with lots of activities. I love the colored eggs. Nice rainbow! How nice to have been able to spend the day with church family when you can't be with Michigan family.

Love,
Sandy
