Chris and I both loved the tradition from our childhood of having an Easter basket full of goodies. I also loved when I got a new dress for Easter Sunday. We decided to have the same traditions. I forgot to take a pic of Lila in her dress but here are pics of the kids and their baskets.
After church we went over to a friend's house for an Easter feast and it was delicious.
Then we headed outside for an egg hunt.
Calvin enjoyed just sitting on the grass playing with his basket and a few eggs.
While Lila loved running around finding eggs then opening them and getting even more excited when she found the candy.
I've been called a practical parent recently. I think of myself as keeping things simple. However, sometimes I wonder if it's something else all together. While our kids are young and not interested in all the hoopla holidays have to offer, I prefer not to get involved with the craziness that sometime occurs. I love Easter for the reason of celebrating our Savior and getting together with family and friends. Since we didn't travel to be with family, we were in good company with friends. It was a nice, relaxing holiday:)
Happy Easter from the Johnson family:)
