Covid has changed everything about this year. Nothing is normal. This year there was not big Easter egg hunt on base. There was no festival with food stands or activities for kids. There was no picture with the Easter bunny. So many things were missing but it made it so much easier to focus on the true reason we celebrate Easter. We enjoyed our quiet sabbath day, had at home church and talked about the Savior's resurrection. It was a beautiful and uplifting day.
We took our Baker Sunday Selfie and didn't realize it right away but when I uncropped it we noticed that the Easter bunny had snuck into our picture! Eva was so excited and so surprised!
After at home church we were surprised when we heard a noise outside. When we checked we saw that the Easter bunny had filled the kids baskets! It was perfect timing because they needed their baskets for our egg hunt. This year we decided to do 2 golden eggs. Rich always puts money in them so the kids are super excited to find them. Aidan has been the one to find it the last 2 years so Maya really wanted to find at least one of them this year.
They looked and looked and looked. Rich did a good job of hiding them.
Arabella found the first golden egg!
It took another 5 minutes before AIDAN found the grand prize golden egg for the 3rd year in a row!!!
Even though nothing was as it usually is it was still really great. I love all of the family time we have been enjoying with no distractions. It was a happy Covid Easter.
