Saturday Morning we took Trent to an area church, that held an Easter Egg Hunt. They did some crafts...played some games...and of course....had an Easter Egg Hunt.Here Trent is making a egg something....with glue and jello
The hunt was held in the sanctuary...here he is under the pews!
checking his eggs
Then we came home to color Eggs. I think they look Eggsta-special!
After that, we headed up to Grandpa and Grandma's house for an early Easter Dinner! It was so delicious! We had Ham, Potato Salad, Sweet Potatoes, Rolls, Broccoli and fruit salad. We topped it off with Banana Cream Pie.

On Sunday, we were up early and attended the 8:30 service. We held two services this year to accommodate all the Easter attenders. Steve just told me, we had over 900 in attendance! We had a wonderful Service and Pastor Chris did a great job, as usual!
Our family enjoyed a roast dinner, mashed potatoes, corn and rolls! After that, I put the 'Easter Bunnies' to work....here they are filling eggs. I asked them to fill 10 eggs each and hide them in the back yard for Trent to find...they each filled 20! Okay, that's 40 eggs filled with candy, for you not so mathy people!
I have to brag a little...Tyler and Troy made it so fun for Trent. They took a lot of time to hide the eggs and encouraged him while hunting for them. One of the sweetest parts, was when Tyler got out his wallet and proceeded to fill an egg with a dollar...his money..with no prompting??? Then, he came and asked me for ones for a $5 (he wanted to fill 5 eggs with $1)...he was gonna give his little brother 5 bucks!??....I know, fight back the tears...is that not so sweet of him! Tyler, I do believe you are growing up!
Trent absolutely loved collecting the eggs...all 40 of them! He was so much fun to watch!
As a mater of fact, we spent the rest of the afternoon re-hiding the eggs! Again for Trent...Trent for Tyler...Trent for Steve...Steve and Joanne for Trent...Trent for Tyler again...Tyler and Troy for Trent. Wow....that's a lot of millage on those eggs!
This was just a cute picture I took of Trent. I thought it was so sweet of him.
Here is that nice boy I spoke of earlier! He is sporting his Easter shirt.

Do you remember the one Easter that we hid the eggs at Watson's. Over and Over again, and they were real eggs! I don't think we ever found all of them the last time we were looking. What fun!
I was recalling that, while Trent was looking for them!
We must have hid them a dozen times. I'm sure Aunt Donna and mom didn't mind...it kept us busy all day...and outside!
Great post Joanne! And praises to the big brothers! I watched Chris' Easter message yesterday. Wow! 900!
Nice pictures. We even dyed real eggs this year. Sounds like you had a wonderful Easter.
Great pics! Glad you had a great Easter!
