The only really unusual things about having so many Easter pictures to share is that, well, we're not a Christian family, so we don't really celebrate Easter! But both The Map Man and I were raised Christians, and of both of our families are Christian (we're the only heathens in the lot....), so sometimes it's just easier to go with the flow. And heck, what's not to like about hunting for brightly colored eggs and eating a lot of chocolate!
So here's a photo series of our weekend activities. On Saturday we had an egg hunt at The Map Man's parents' house (first photo) and a big dinner, which was very yummy.
Then we had an egg hunt at our house on Sunday morning (because that's what the kids were apparently expecting -- fortunately, I was prepared just in case!).
Then the kids ate a lot of chocolate for breakfast. Fortunately, nobody had to be taken to the hospital in a diabetic coma. It's amazing the quantity of chocolate a child can consume and still live....
And then we went up to my parents' for dinner, which was also very yummy. Mom had baskets for the kids loaded with candy and toys and treats and insanity.
And then we had another egg hunt, because you just can't collect enough plastic eggs on a freezing cold weekend in April.

Funny, the same is true for us: we don't consider ourselves Christians either but we still did the whole egg hunt thing. But the best part for me was that Oliver actually kind of got the idea that we were looking for these plastic eggs -- which I'm sure he wouldn't have 6 months ago. So now I'm actually already looking forward to next year's hunt just to see where another year will take us! So hurray for those silly plastic eggs and the easter bunny!
