Prestonwood Easter Eggstravaganza!

Last Saturday, we went to our first Easter activity at our church. The had huge inflatables, tons of yummy food, a puppet show, and of course, and Easter egg hunt. Meredith and Andrew met us there, so Nathan really had a good time! Afterwards, we went home, took naps, and then headed to the mall to get pictures with the Easter Bunny. What a busy day!





For the egg hunt, they divided all of the kids by age, and they had a huge area with tons of eggs for each age group. Last year, we went to a community egg hunt that was set up the same way, but there were TONS of kids in Nathan's group. When they blew the whistle to start hunting, we practically got mowed down, and Nathan only got 2 eggs! So this time, we got competitive and told Nathan when it started, to get has many eggs as he could, just throw them in the basket, and make it like a race. Wayne and I thought he was going to go crazy with it, but when it started he just stood there and smiled at us. He was in a spot where there weren't many kids yet, so we kept saying, "Nathan! Pick up the eggs!" But he just kept smiling and laughing. Pretty soon, the crowd of kids was making it's way toward him, and all of the eggs were being taken, so Wayne had to climb over with him and give him some encouragement. I was laughing so hard! That's what we get for trying to be too competitive at a church function!














In the end, Nathan got a bucket full of eggs, plus our church handed out a gift to every family. It was a 4 piece set depicting the resurrection. It came with the cave where Jesus was buried, 2 guards, the Angel, John and Peter, Mary, and two other women. It was really neat. We thought it was so cool that Nathan had a Jesus figure along with the disciples and witnesses. Later on that night, they all ended up with their clothes off and in the bathtub with Nathan!
