Easter.. A little late!

I promise he did have fun! s

This year we had a lot of fun with all the Easter centered activities! Connor is at such a fun age where he is able to help and participate. We started off with an Easter egg dash at the park with some friends. It was a lot of fun and thankfully, there weren't too many crazy parents.

found lots of eggs

We took Connor to the Primary Easter activity. I think that he will enjoy it a lot more next year. They didn't do an egg hunt and the games where above his attention level. He did like the game "hot potato" but wont stand in the circle long enough and then would get really mad when he was skipped over. This poor little boy had a rough night too. He fell and scrapped his knee in the parking lot, and then at the end of the activity got smashed in between the door and wall by some of the older kids which resulted in a huge goose egg on his head. Luckily, a little lovin` from mommy and a cupcake made everything better :)

The Mon before Easter we had a nice FHE where we taught Connor about the real meaning of Easter and focused only on the Savior. He actually paid attention pretty well! The one thing that I am excited about for next year is that he will be at a better age to do all the Christ centered crafts and lessons better!

We decided we wanted to do his egg hunt on a Saturday that way we could spend Sunday focusing more on the reverent, spiritual parts of the holiday. It was a beautiful day and daddy hide all the eggs out in the yard.

Hmm, where are the eggs?

 The rest of the day we got some starter plants for our garden (Connor managed to kill a lot of our seedlings), spent the day down by the river, and got ice cream cones with walking around downtown. It was a really fun relaxing day. The only thing I wish we remembered the stroller. Next time we head downtown we def will! After we got home we colored eggs! Thanks to a wonderful tip I found on Pinterest it was pretty mess free! Connor actually was able to color most of the eggs by himself, and they were dang good looking eggs!

Due to the fact that Adam has meetings first thing in the morning we waited until after church to give Connor his basket. Luckily he didn't know most kids get theirs in the morning. It was so wonderful to get to go to church! My primary class was def on a sugar high!! We had a wonderful dinner and spent the rest of the day eating way to many sweets!
