Jacob was old enough to dye eggs with us this year. You can see he is thrilled! He wanted to do all his just plain colors.
They turned out really well! And we didn't break any.
We attempted a stained-glass cross craft but my contact paper was tan instead of clear, so it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. Abi's still turned out pretty.
This year we decided to make Easter more Christ-focused and celebrated a Passover Seder with the kids. They loved getting dressed up and enjoying a fancy table! Even Jacob got into it and was so careful with his dishes.
We also got them each one big, special gift for Easter, which they opened Saturday night after the Passover Seder. They still got small Easter baskets with candy the next day, but these were special things just from us. Abigail got a charm bracelet, like her older sister's. Leah got a new charm to put on hers'.
Andrew got a board game that he had been talking about, which everyone can enjoy together. Jacob got a toy we knew he would like.
With the warmer weather, we were able to take some fun photos outside and enjoy an Egg Hunt after church!
Look, it's the first year in a long time I haven't been HOLDING a baby or toddler in our Easter photo. And no one cried or had a tantrum during the Egg Hunt!
Leah and Abi both requested a special hairdo for Easter morning. They came up with the ideas but I helped.
Jacob knew exactly what to do for the Egg Hunt this year and didn't even need my help. In fact, I saw him helping some of the little girls by picking up eggs for them and putting them in their baskets!
