As far as Easter activities, we kept things simple. Egg dying is always a must! I love the patience it helps teach the boys, especially when using natural dyes. Their focused faces were my favorite! They wanted to dye about 2 dozen more, but I can only eat deviled eggs for so many days in a row...
The Easter egg hunt was epic!!! In the past we have done a hunt Easter morning with all our neighbors, but considering we had just moved & our back yard is currently a mud pit, that wasn't really an option. I decided to do a small hunt with just our boys right near some trailheads by our house. A quick little walk down the street. We did it the morning before Easter, so that the actual day wouldn't be so crazy trying to fit in everything with brunch & church. Best idea ever!!! We sent my parents to the trails first, where they hid around 30 eggs for the boys. And really hid them! No obvious eggs laying in the grass here! The boys slowly worked their through the sage brush and grasses, finding all the goodies! A tradition I mostly certainly think we will be repeating. Side note: knee highs for boys are a must! I actually intended for these to be for Kane & Finn, but they were way bigger than I anticipated, so they worked for the older two instead. Be still my heart! There will be plenty of more knee highs in our future. I love Magnolia Kids if you are looking for a shop!

Easter itself was a lovely day. Slow & relaxing. The Easter Bunny totally delivered, making for excited boys. And as already mentioned, we played a ridiculous amount of board games. We brunched. We napped. We had a ham feast. We put the kids to bed early and stayed up drinking wine & playing darts. There were last minute snuggles & books read as we said goodbye to Nana & Pops the following morning. A wonderful holiday with family! Couldn't ask for more!
Now that we've moved past Easter.... is it summer yet?!

A few things: I have been anxiously awaiting a big catch up post full of beautiful photos and you did not disappoint! Second, KNEE HIGHS. I did not know how much I love them, and now I do.
