We’ve had a great Easter-filled weekend around here.  We had Friday off and relaxed most of the day and then went to the Good Friday service.

On Saturday, we finally dyed eggs . I decided to try tie-dyeing eggs this year. It was so easy and the kids loved it. The boys may or may not have been too impatient to let their colors set. J

I followed the instructions at Family Fun.

The boys went to a friend’s house Saturday night for a Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt. They had such a wonderful time!!

It’s our favorite Egg Hunt of the year. It is so different and the dark and flashlights add such fun elements!

This was Luke’s first year and he needed no instructions. He zoomed right out there with his flashlight and grabbed a bunch of eggs!

The kids woke up Sunday super excited to see what the Easter Bunny had brought. They spent the morning playing and sneaking too much candy and then we got dressed for church.

The sun was super bright for them! I thought they looked so cute and grown up. I got a glimpse of Daniel at 18 I think. A lady at church said Luke looked like a little Frat boy. Ha! He really kind of does.

We came home and ate a yummy ham lunch. The boys went on and on about how yummy it was. That makes a mommy feel good… even if Honey Baked Ham cooked 3 of the 6 items. J

And as not to be a hypocrite, since I have not one but 2 “Cute Easter desserts” posts, I tried to make cute Easter cupcakes.

I got the recipe for these bird’s nest cupcakes from Picky Palate. Hers are so much cuter, but these were festive enough for us!

After lunch I took a mega nap, which was awesome! I love a good nap and rarely get one these days.

It’s been a great Easter weekend around here and we still have one more day of it! We’re off for Easter Monday. I see laundry and mopping in my future.
