Easter Playdate

On Thursday, Lilliana and I invited Amanda and Wilson along with Annah Mary and Amelia over for some Easter fun. Typically Thursday includes the gym, story time and lunch with these ladies but we decided to change things up a bit since it was Easter week. After heading to the gym we headed back over to our house and started out the fun with dying some Easter eggs. I had found a Mickey Mouse egg kit at JoAnn's back when they first opened here in Memphis and had been saving it for this day. The kids seemed to have a great time and although within the first 30 seconds Lilliana's hand was dyed pink to match her egg, things went well. She didn't really understand the concept of using the little wire hook to retrieve her freshly dyed egg and would rather just fetch it out with her hands! Mommy learned quickly to keep it far enough away from her the rest of the time. :)











After decorating our eggs the kids enjoyed some duck shaped PB&J sandwiches, "duckie" goldfish crackers, fruit and some kool-aid. The mom's enjoyed a yummy chicken recipe I got from Tracy a while ago that is great to make for a playdate since it cooks in the slow-cooker.

We then headed outside to hunt for the egg's Amanda and I had hidden for the kids. Amelia definitely took the cake here as she found all but about 3 of the eggs! After a little story time with some fun books and enjoying some sugar cookies it was time for everyone to head back to their own houses for nap time. Lilliana handed out a little sand bucket with shovel and some Easter coloring pages as a little thank-you. It was such a beautiful day and just the start of celebrating the resurrection of Jesus this weekend!
