Easter 2020

Easter 2020 was a very different and strange holiday. We tried to make it entertaining with some new activities!

Don't touch the lava!

 The weekend involved lots of brotherly bonding time!

So happy we took the time to clean the porch and patio the weekend before! The TV returned to its wall after the pollen storm ended.

 And Brent returned to his post at the grill!!

 The Easter bunny came!!

This year the Easter Bunny wanted to support small businesses; so asked Science Safari to help put baskets together for the occasion. We gave them a budget and things our boys like to do and they picked out the goodies! (Brock had his 6th Birthday party at Science Safari)

Sunday morning church service was a little different.... I was torn - I missed getting all dressed up in our Easter outfits, but really liked the comfort of making pancakes in our pajamas!

 We did an Egg hunt the day before as we were expected to have a rainy Easter. Alas, no pictures, but the boys enjoyed looking for 80 eggs in the backyard - one of which a special Golden Egg just like Aunt Beverly always hid for us.

Our Easter Sunday art activity was dyeing the eggs! Two dozen eggs! Cooked perfectly, I may add - all yellow yolks!

Looking back on our April, Easter weekend especially, and we definitely spent more intentional time together as a family. We read Bible stories every night that week - explaining why Easter is so special. Brock got a little sad one night, realizing we didn't do some of the things we usually do (i.e. big egg hunts) and that bummed Brent and me out. Just keep trying to make things fun (and safe and relaxed) that we do at home! That's the goal!
