Easter

Easter morning after church.



Oh what fun this Easter was. So much better than last year. We began our Easter activites on Friday with baking birds nest cookies. This was something my mom did with us every year and I was so excited to be starting with my children.

Then after dinner we stripped them down and dyed eggs. This was quite fun. Hayla wanted to crack the eggs like she was cooking. We had to convince her that we weren't cooking. Then after they had it down they thought it would be fun to splash in the dye. Oh what a mess. Their hands were solid bule and green and purple, but hey they had fun. ( On Sunday we gave them one to eat and they didn't like them)


Easter goodies from Grandma and Grandpa. (Shane's Parents)


Here they are hunting for eggs. Due to the rain it was very mushy outside so we had to hide them in the house. Everyone hid the eggs and then we gave the kids their basket and said ok go find an egg and put it in your basket, and the went to it. We didn't have to tell them twice. They were filling their baskets and when they were full they dumped them and started all over. Then when they realized there was candy inside they thought this was a great game.

That looks like so much fun! I wish I were painting eggs with my little 3rd cousins? How does that work? 2nd cousins kids are what to me? Maybe nothing! I still feel slightly attached!
