Kelbie enjoyed herself on Easter this year. She was old enough to participate in the Egg hunts and enjoy going through her baskets. We let her open her basket from us before we headed to church. She didn't seem to care to much about anything in her basket other then the eggs. She didn't want what was in the eggs either. She emptied out the candy just to play with the egg. Lesson learned to just buy plastic eggs and not worry about all the other stuff. I mean plastic eggs are like 50 cents at Walmart for like 10 or 15 eggs. She got coloring books, stamps, glasses, bubbles, slinkies and braclets for the Easter bunny at our house.
We went to church at Danny and Shannon's church. They do Easter on the Hill in Sienna and do an egg hunt before. This was Kelbie's first egg hunt. Last year she was to little to get the concept of what you were supposed to do. It did take a little bit for her to get the hang of collecting the eggs, but after she did, she had a basket full of eggs. When church started she sat and played with her eggs for awhile and went down for the children's portion of church and then became a little restless, so James took her down by the lake to look at the animals in the water. There was a turtle that kept swimming by the dock that she loved but there was also a baby alligator that we thought was pretty cool. After church we went to eat at Ninfa's, which I have decided is not my favorite place. After lunch we didn't have to be at my parents until later for dinner so we went home to let Kelbie nap and to just relax.
We headed to my parents for dinner with all the family. Kelbie, Brayden and Trystan got to open their Easter baskets that the Easter bunny leaves at Nana and Granddaddy's. She got some candy and snacks, as well as some paper to color on, stickers and a bunny purse. Once we ate dinner the kids went on another egg hunt. Kelbie did better this time as it was her second time in one day to have to go find eggs. Once she got them all and we went back inside she did insist on opening every egg to see what was inside. Luckily there wasn't much candy this time so we didn't have to fight over not eating it all.
Easter we pretty good this year and I look forward to next year when Kelbie will really understand what Easter is about. We haven't told her much about Easter as I feel she is still a little young to understand, but with her starting school next year they will talk about it in class and she will start to get a better understanding.
Hope everyone had a great Easter as well. Here are a few pictures of our day. Of course all of the pictures from our day are on Facebook.
