Easter

Now that we're entering Autumn, I thought I'd share a thing or two about our Spring. We've had a lot of fun these past 6 to 8 months, and it's too bad I haven't been willing to find the time to blog about them until now. These Easter pictures were sooooo cute, I had to post them. First, there's the preparation - decorating Easter eggs. It makes me very nervous to watch the kiddos wrecklessly drop their eggs into the dye - big splashes, broken eggs, stained tables, etc., etc., etc. Somehow though, it's still fun to watch, because they are sooo excited!


Another special treat.....our friends bought baby chicks this year. My kids loved holding these little guys.


We had a great time Easter-egg hunting and playing with basket toys. Kimball figured out the power of a good marshmallow chick, and boy did he hussel when he found out what was inside those plastic eggs. He held his own just fine this year, yes sireeeee!
We had an Easter egg hunt at our house with a couple friends. Thanks again Becca for the pictures!



Why aren't there any pictures of Peter and his friends? Because they were running tooooo fast! As kids get older, these hunts are all about getting to the next egg before the other guys. Okay, so it wasn't that intense of an egg hunt. There were plenty of eggs to go around.

Maybe you didn't get a good enough shot of how many this kids is holding. I've blocked out of my memory how we managed to get these away from him, but it sure made a great couple photos!

Elsie got fingernail polish in her basket. She was pretty excited!


Peter wanted a green light saber like Yoda's for Easter. Him and his dad had a lot of fun out on the lawn fighting. I was too afraid - Peter takes these light saber fights pretty serious!
