The Friskes: Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend!! We had a movie night on Friday night (no it has nothing to do with Easter, I just have to share!) and rented "Tangled"... Alex ran to Gary as soon as he got home, super excitedly yelling, "Daddy! Daddy! It's MOVIE NIGHT! We got Wound Up!" (aka "Tangled") So cute!

Anyway, on to the actual Easter festivities! We decorated eggs on Saturday night. Alex was so into it!

Nathan enjoyed playing with plastic eggs and cups!

This was very messy this year! haha.

Gary and Alex dyed and then re-dyed just about every egg. Neither of them wanted to be done! haha. I guess we need more eggs next year! Oh, and Gary cracked about 1/4th of them... lol.

We hadn't made a big deal really about the "Easter Bunny" other than a couple of mentions here and there. So when we had him put grass in the baskets and get carrots out for the bunny, he was SO excited and had a million questions! He couldn't even sleep. We went in twice when he was yelling for us. The first time all he wanted was to know if the bunny was coming TONIGHT? and would he see him? The second time he asked Gary what specifically bunnies eat. Gary told him he had to go to bed or the bunny wouldn't come. And that if we heard him again, he'd be in trouble. So we didn't hear him again... but then when I went in at 11:00 to check on them, he was WIDE AWAKE!! So cute.

The Easter bunny came!!!!

Alex got Eric Carle lacing cards, do-a-dot markers, and a Toy Story shirt! And then a few dollar store things. Nathan got tadoodles toddler crayons and a Percy train (Alex thinks allllll the trains are his and has a hard time sharing them... so we figured Nathan having a highly desireable Percy train would help with the sharing haha! Nathan loooves the trains too!). And then of course some dollar store things as well!

So excited!!

Nathan's favorite was probably this ball!

...and the Easter grass! haha!

A picture of our eggs!

Sunday was a very busy, but fun day! We were teaching the k-2nd grade Sunday School so we had to be there for the 9:30 and 11:00 services. The Easter service was great! After church we went straight to a friends' house for Easter lunch! I'm pretty sad we didn't get any pictures of us all dressed up. It was so hot (in the mid to upper 80s!) that we ended up all changing after church when we got there. Oh well. We spent the afternoon with friends! We had a great afternoon. We headed home around 4ish and ate a light dinner before our family egg hunt! We ended up just doing it in the living room/kitchen. Alex was pretty pumped about the hunt, he said it was his favorite part of Easter. We had the eggs out all week and had been playing games and doing some different crafts related to Easter eggs/bunnies/etc. So he was super excited!
