Hunt and Happenings

The last few days have been full. 

Last week we bought our Resurrection Eggs. We took some time to go through these with Fulton and focus on each of the events leading up to the death and Resurrection of our Savior. This is such a neat tool to use with children. He was so excited to open each egg, but actually sat and listened to the story behind the symbols. As with the other holidays that can quickly turn worldly, I pray we can be intentional about showing him the meaning of Easter and how our salvation 

is based on the events of these days. 

In other happenings, my man and I had a date night Friday night. Oh how I love eating out as a family, but it sure is nice when you can go out with just each other. We had dinner at Cocina Superior and then browsed through some stores and laughed until our sides hurt. We have such a good time together. Love my prince charming. 

And while we were having our date, this guy was having a blast. He was at Kiki and Pete's house dying Easter eggs with KK and Pops. They made cookies and someone let Fulton do the sprinkles by himself... he used the whole bottle. 

 

Kiki set up some carnival games and gave horsey rides. He wore her out. Thanks to my fam for a night our with my hubby. 

Fulton had an Easter party last week with his friends from school, but yesterday Mrs. Lavina sent him home with a cool basket. We didn't get a chance to open it yesterday afternoon so we enjoyed it this morning. He had a blast opening it. 

We snapped a quick picture before heading out to church for our Easter egg hunt. I am so blessed. My little family of three. 

Before it was time for the hunt we enjoyed the bouncy houses. 

And the train. 

And the slides. This guy is such a thrill seeker. This one was definitely intended for bigger kids, but it wasn't stopping him. He did this one over and over until we had to stop. 

It was time for our egg hunt. Don't put too much emphasis on the word "hunt" here. They were actually just dumped out into the grassy area. He walked past about 40 eggs before he decided to start picking some up. He strategically went to the far corner where no one was. Smart guy. 

He was so proud of his work. 

We enjoyed our time with some sweet friends, did the cake walk, ate some popcorn and headed for some lunch. And just when I thought he would be so worn out from the festivities, someone boycotted their nap. We played outside, walked on the trail, and ate Popsicles. What a blessed day! Looking forward to worship tomorrow to celebrate our risen King!
