Easter Fun

Easter Morning
The Easter Bunny left these Disney bags for my kids
Inside Dayton's bag
Inside Daphne's bag
They loved discovering the bags FIRST THING in the morning
Eating Pocky sticks for their first time
These sticks have been a hit; the kids
ask for chocolate sticks every day now
Daphne enjoying her ring sucker
Dayton with his ring sucker


Skibicki's House
We spent most of Easter Sunday at my aunt's house. Dayton and Daphne love playing with Mia and Erica... and all of their toys. We love spending time with these wonderful relatives.
Mia arranged an egg hunt for Dayton and Daphne


Another Egg Hunt
My kids were lucky enough to get THREE egg hunts this year. This one was at a park with lots of friends from Church.
A Dad played Duck, Duck, Goose with the kids
while Moms hid the eggs around the park
Our large group of egg-hunters
We love spending time with all these dear friends from Church
The toddlers raced to find eggs
after all the big kids had sprinted ahead
(although I'm not sure why Dayton was being slow)
Daphne was great at finding the obvious eggsDayton collected all of his eggs without my helpThe kids enjoyed the fruits of their laborsDayton found bubbles in one of his eggs

We also spent one evening teaching the kids the Easter story about Christ's death and resurrection. Daphne didn't listen well, but Dayton seemed to understand it. He kept asking interesting questions like, "Will the bad people kill me on the cross, too?" After I explained that we will all be resurrected like Jesus he said, "Then I can be an angel like Jesus!" Dayton was able to re-tell the story to me using our pictures.

The little packages in their bags look like fruit snacks. It looks like you had beautiful weather for the outside egg hunt. That was so nice of Mia to set up an egg hunt for the kids.

Wow, we need to get Dayton into a running class or something.
