Easter Sunday

Easter was such a fun day of celebrating for our family this year. It was really Gavin's first year of "participating" in the Easter festivities. And, for Caylin, it is always so exciting to see how much more she is understanding about our holidays and family traditions and why we do them!

The day started with a quick morning breakfast and then little hunt for the Easter baskets.

Then, it was time to get all dressed up and ready to go to church! Even though we spent lots of time talking about what Easter is REALLY ABOUT all week, it was so fun to see Caylin so excited about God's and Jesus' love shown for us on Easter!

After a small lunch and much needed rest time (we were all still recovering from a busy spring break week), we headed to Dave and Joan Wolf's house (you know DAVE and JOAN) to meet up with Gma and Gpa Brown for the traditional Easter egg hunt and dinner. Our numbers may have been few this year (we missed big cousins Nik, Maddy and Trent), Caylin and Gavin were mighty in their hunting! I think it might have been the power of the Peeps (check out those hat!) that helped them find so many eggs.

Gavin was not too sure what this whole thing was all about at first. But, it did not take much for him to catch on. In no ti me he was find the eggs, busting them open and collecting the treasures that were inside. Thankfully for us, much of the treasure was of the coin and not candy variety. Don't be too concerned, however. The Brown children (and parents) got more than their fair share of sweet treats from the many GrandBunnies that we love dearly!
