Hoppy Easter






We had such a great Easter. Our Easter festivities kicked off last Friday night when we went to the Acworth Easter Egg Hunt with our friends Katie, Kendalynn & Logan Buttle. The hunt started at 8 p.m. and was kicked off by the Easter Bunny parachuting in and landing on the field, (I think that was Nathan's favorite part about Easter this year). They had the hunt divided into age groups and times. The 0-3 started at 8 then the 3-5 were supposed to start at 8:15. The 0-3 age group had all the eggs picked up within two minutes.
The next day was he City of Kennesaw's Easter Egg Hunt. It was much better organized, but no parachuting bunny. They did however have plenty of candy. Nathan came away with a full basket and there was still lots of candy left on the field.
Yesterday, we had our ward hunt where Nathan had fun finding eggs with his friend Thatcher. And then today after church we went to grandpa & grandma Rygmyrs house where they had eggs hid for Nathan. Nate would play a little, then find some eggs, then play a little more and find eggs again until he found them all. We ate a delicious dinner, played some, dyed eggs and played some more. It was a lot of fun. Both boys were worn out at the end of the day. But if you ask Nathan why we celebrate Easter he would tell you, "it's for Jesus", so despite all the commercialism something is actually sinking in.

How sweet! I'm glad you all had a great time this Easter. And I'm glad that Nathan is understanding what Easter is about.
Hugs and kisses!

The boys look so cute in their matching suits.
