Saturday was one busy day, but I had my Mom up here to help. There were a lot of Easter activities going on around town that I wanted to take the boys to, and I was also hosting Dylan’s birthday party take two (we had to cancel last weekend).

First on the agenda was a visit to the Eggstravaganza at our local community center. There were lots of Easter crafts for the kids to decorate, and cookies too. Thade enjoyed dying his first Easter egg of the season, and Dylan was happy to run around toting his Easter basket.

We then took James some lunch at work. He had to work Saturday, and couldn’t get away, but we had a nice lunch, and the kids were chatting his ear off… We had an Easter egg hunt to go to next.

After lunch we headed over to Thade’s school for an afternoon Easter egg hunt, and it was a blast. There was a story all about Jelly Beans and their meanings, and then the preschoolers got to go downstairs and collect some eggs. Every child got the same amount of eggs, and they were all thrilled when they opened the eggs and saw all of the Easter treats.

The kiddos each came home with a basket full of Easter candy.

After the Easter egg hunt we ran back across town to get ready for Dylan’s party. I still had cupcakes that needed icing, and Nana did a quick pick-up of the house. Before we knew it guests and kids were arriving for the party.

We had the house filled with kiddos, moms, and family too, and it was a lot of fun. Dylan had a great party, and Thade had a blast too. I think everyone had plenty of cupcakes, and there were even a few left for James too.
