Easter 2019

Happy Easter from our family! I can't believe we're already in the middle of Spring and summer is almost here! Easter time is so much fun and it is definitely one of my top favorite holidays to celebrate! Our God is real, he is powerful and we are here because HE gave HIS one and only Son to die on that cross for us. All for us! He loves us so much that he sacrificed his very own. That's intense and unending love. But we are celebrating because Jesus rose from the grave!

I am blessed that I get to share the gospel with four of our very own and they will pass it down from generation to generation! All week we have been studying on Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and Noah (6) and Levi (3) are getting it. It's exciting to have their little minds working and figuring things out and why we do the things we do or believe in what we believe . I love it. So there is a picture David took of the boys and I in our Easter Sunday best! Noah dressed himself ;) 

 After church, we came home and I started cooking and prepping for David's mom and family to come over for lunch. I should say David actually grilled and I prepped. These are the boys' baskets with treats. I thought the baskets were so simple this year and I was surprised to see them entertained for a couple of hours after ! They really enjoyed all their treats!

Toddler Easter Basket 2015

Noah's Easter basket this year was a lot of fun putting together since I know what he enjoys. 

Last year's Easter basket was cute and babyish and this year I actually added candies into it, a fun toy train (he's obsessed!) a book on the true meaning of Easter, a coloring book, socks, a cute Dr. Seuss straw cup, an Octonauts dvd, a pin wheel, and gold fishies that I tried to make look like a carrot but didn't come out so much.

Filling Easter Eggs For Toddlers

I wasn't too sure about what do for Noah this Easter when it came to maybe doing an egg hunt for him until I  saw a great idea online. Obviously I didn't want to fill the eggs with sugary sweets or money (yet) for my one year old.  I want to give him something he can really enjoy when he opens the egg. So here's what I found and what we're filling Noah's Easter eggs with.

1.) Hot Wheels , Perfect! He loves these things! Granted not all of them fit in these size eggs but most do!

2.) Baby Goldfish Crackers

3.) Bunny marshmallows, sweet but not candy and very soft on the teeth!

Besides that, we put the Hot Wheels that didn't fit in the eggs, in his basket. In there we got him a fluffy lamb and a cute drinking cup with a straw.

 I can't wait for this weekend and to do Noah's egg hunt! It's going to be a good fun filled weekend!
