Easter!

As Emry would say, “He came out!” (Interpretation: “He is risen!”)

We had a very nice Easter. The Saturday before we went up to the mall. Emry first searched for candy and quarters in straw at Rural King. Unsure of what she was doing and not at all competitive, she achieved a few pieces and one quarter. Then we went to JC Penney where she joined an Easter egg hunt. Funny enough, she cared very little about the eggs once she saw the Easter bunny. All she wanted to do was follow him around – and I thought she might be scared!

When we got home, we decorated eggs. I had seen on Pinterest a way to decorate eggs with food coloring and shaving cream. When the blogger suggested whipping cream worked just as well…as Ed would say, “Sold!” Since Ethan puts everything into his mouth, something edible was preferable. For, yes, he ate it.

Easter Sunday began cold and grey. It continued to be cold, but the sun came out and it was a lovely day to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior! We went up to the West End overlook and took pictures.

After afternoon naps all around, we put on jackets and went outside to find the eggs. Ethan found a few, but once he discovered something edible in them he plopped down and ate. Emry cheerfully found the rest and then plopped down to count how many she had gotten. Perfect examples of their little personalities.
