Pre-Easter Festivities

As a family, we work hard to make sure our kids are learning about the liturgical seasons of the Church and that it's not Easter just yet....still Lent. But this is hard when there are egg hunts and Easter parties during Holy Week. Sebastian did question it a few times saying, "but it's not Easter yet!" but I just explained that sometimes we do a few special things before Easter too. What can you do!?! =)

Getting ready to look for eggs. Matteo was very excited. Sebastian was not too sure...


He sure was happy when his bucket was full though!

Matteo loved opening each egg to discover the treats inside. This was a nice hunt because all the eggs were filled with little trinkets, stickers and such - not candy that my kids don't really eat anyways.

Squinty but happy faces after the hunt!

Sharing the spoils. Sebastian was decorating his brother with stickers.

The kids had a small Easter party and egg hunt at school. Sebastian was excited to see us there.

Loving on his brother. =)

Matteo was very excited because there was a spot at the table for him to sit too and have ice cream with Sebastian just like the other kids.

Digging in!
