A bunch of the moms from our small group got together this morning for an Easter-themed play date. I baked cupcakes and brought icing, candies and sprinkles for each of the kids to decorate their own. Another mom brought foam stickers for the kids to decorate paper bags to use for our Easter egg hunt. After lunch, we read the Easter story from a couple of cute board books, then headed out to the park next door to hunt for eggs. Eva was shy at first, but soon was running intently around the trees and playground, yelling “find eggs!”
Since they were apparently flooded with visitors last year, our church has asked regular attendees to come on Saturday night, so there’s more room for visitors on Sunday morning (they’ve added an extra service, too). Evening is a pain for us, so I think we’ll pass, but maybe we’ll check out another church on Sunday. It is Easter, after all, and as long as we worship the same Risen Lord, that’s all that really matters. I’ve got the stuff to make baskets and have an egg hunt of our own in the backyard, too. I don’t think it will be warm enough to wear their dresses, but that’s OK. They can still wear them another time. Eva’s dress is a size 3T, since she’s outgrowing her 2T tops already. The 2T pants still fit, though (3T pants are too long).
