russian orthodox easter

Христос воскрес, Христос воскрес, Христос воскрес!  Everyone was up bright and early this morning including Bennett with his usual up-do.

We all took turns washing our hands and face in Holy water.  Bennett was not a fan.

Then we shared an egg and Bennett was allowed to start the egg hunt.

In no time he was playing with his new toys and stickers with a mouth full of candy.

Flexing his egg collecting muscles before continuing on with the hunt.

Last but not least, Bennett found the grand prize, the Easter basket.

Thank you Grandma for the biggest and bestest Easter basket ever.  Bennett is set on candy until next Easter.  Sadly, we had to leave shortly after the egg hunt.  I was worried how we would keep a little boy that ate a whole lot of candy seated in the car seat for the five and a half hour drive home.

Thank goodness for the iPad and "Big Hero 6."  We hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday.
