Me, my hubby, and our three and a half year old son went to the church Easter egg hunt in the pouring rain today! When we arrived at the church, I said, “Honey, do you really want to do this? Wouldn’t you rather go home?”
My son said, “No, Mommy. I want to hunt for Easter eggs.”
So off we went with the rest of the crowd to get eggs. For the little kids, under five, the eggs were spread out in a field.
Hubby carried the umbrella and CJ (our son) walked around the lot and collected the plastic eggs.
I forgot to bring a basket, so we had to place the plastic eggs in my purse.
Afterwards, everybody met up at the church so that the kids could open their eggs. They were filled with candy. I said to hubby, “Wouldn’t it have been easier to just buy him some candy and skip this egg hunt? That way, we would not have been standing in the rain for the last half hour!”
When we got home, I boiled some eggs and my son helped to dye them using food coloring, vinegar and water!
It’s been a busy day!
Happy Easter! I hope all of you have a blessed holiday! Remember Jesus’s sacrifice for our sins!
Looks like you guys had a good time. This is the first time I recall your posting a photo of your son! He sure is cute!
Easter egg hunt! Haven’t been on one of those in a LOOONNNNGGGG time!
What FUN it was to see a picture of your son, Cecelia! I remember the egg hunts. Our boys did do the hunts when young but they didn’t do them the last several years they were home.
We had a Sunrise Service… in the SNOW STORM (between 8 and 10 inches)this morning at 6. The snow was coming down so hard we couldn’t see into the next block at times but we sang Praises to His Name on High around the bonfire and had a Worship Service just the same.
The sun rose without us seeing the first tendrals of it’s warming rays but the birds began singing through the snow to usher in the daylight.
Pam, all I can say is brrr…that’s dedication being out there in the snow! I wouldn’t have went to the sunrise service! I probably would’ve been at home, in bed, sleeping on Easter Sunday!
What a nice picture of your son! Thanks for sharing! I’m glad I finally got to see him!
Looks like you had a fun day! Great pics! It was cold and wet in Wyoming, so we hunted eggs in the house. 🙂
