Knowing we are moving, we've found that so many things we do this year get the "last" adjective attached to them. This was one of them.
Easter in Oman has always been pretty low key. We've never gone to church on Easter here because it is CRAZY busy and most of the services are early. It's also pretty warm this time of year, so we've kept egg hunting inside to prevent any melting candy. And we don't really have much outdoor space to hide the eggs, so indoors works best. We've kept our holiday to hunting for eggs, an Easter basket, dying eggs, and lunch/brunch. Luckily, Aberly does know why we celebrate Easter, despite us having a very non-religious Easter experience.
This year was out most fun Easter to date. Emalyn LOVED everything we did for Easter as well, and was an active, and excited, participant. Aberly really enjoyed it as well, and even told me this was the best Easter we've ever had.

Prepping the dye for eggs.
Two happy girls. Emalyn was ready to put eggs in the cups every second. You can see we didn't catch her fast enough and she got two eggs in the purple cup.
Very proud of her eggs.
Writing a card for the Easter Bunny and leaving him some snacks.
Aberly was up at 6:15 and what a sweetie, she patiently played in her room on the iPad until the rest of us got up at 7:00 to search for eggs.
I have to give her credit, she found some eggs I didn't expect her to!
Look, eggs!!!
Checking out their Easter basket. Emalyn was all about the little chocolates. She ate two before we could stop her before breakfast. Hey, it's once a year.
No pictures of it, but we had a really nice brunch at the Wood's house this year. The girls happily ate and played with friends while the adults ate, chatted, and sipped on mimosas.
Our last event of the day was a little scavenger hunt at school that one of our co-workers organized for staff kiddos. The kids had fun searching the school for the goodies. Here is Aberly with two good buddies, Marin and Izzy.
Emalyn was just happy to get more treats!
HAPPY EASTER!
WE HOPE YOURS WAS BLESSED AS WELL.
