Easter: Small Group Style

Today, in celebration of the sun actually making an appearance, as well as our desire for spring to be here already!, we decided to have a pre-Easter small group brunch. All the prayer for a beautiful day paid off, because after severe thunderstorms the past week, we had a great day for the festivities! Food eating, cookie decorating and Easter egg hunting were all on the agenda for the day. I'm grateful for the group we are in and the friends Christian and I have formed, as well as the fun playmates for Micah...although I know he just wants to get up and go with all the big kids around...and I just want him to stay little for as long as possible!

If you can't tell here, Christian is falling back with laughter. Something must have been hilarious!

All the dads were hiding the eggs outside (above) while the kids are thoroughly enjoying the cookie decorating inside (below).

Micah spent the morning sleeping, and was ready to play when he woke up!

Time to find Easter eggs!!

"Momma, I just want to go find eggs like the big kids!"

"Egg!"

"What have we here?"

"Oh, thank you Momma! An egg!!"

"And it makes a fun noise when I shake it too!"

"Can I actually get it to fall out of this basket?"

"Maybe it's just better if I sit here in the grass."

"Yes, I think so...that way I can really enjoy my egg and make sure to not mix it up with the others around."

Most of the small group kids below. Yes, there are a lot of boys. Not all though! We have 2 girls to spice up the dress code:)

"Jed: Micah, this is your egg!"

"Micah: But I want to share with you:)"

Warning: Do not do this with any child but your own (if that!) :)

"What a great day I had! Thanks Miss Kate and family for hosting such a fun event!!"
