Easter Time / Spring Time


We had a wonderful Easter/Spring weekend. We colored eggs on Saturday. We buy brown omega 3 eggs and I was a little worried it would be hard to dye them but they came out awesome. Etta loved coloring them with crayons and then choosing the color of each egg.

Being really careful "doing it all myself".

Gibby watched and bounced, giggled and had fun too. He tried to eat the egg before it was dyed and Etta tried to eat the egg after it was dyed. She ended up with blue lips. I let Gibby eat the shelled egg. He seemed to like it.

Trying to eat the Egg with the shell still on.

Chowing down the hard boil egg.

We also painted picture frames and put stickers on them for Andy's Easter present. Etta's was pink with princess stickers, Gibby's was blue with baseball stickers and mine was green with flower stickers. We then went and picked up the pictures for our frames and grabbed a little candy.
We don't do the whole Easter basket thing. One little gift is just great (for now) with cute princess eggs and sports eggs. On Easter morning we hide the Eggs all over the front room. Etta found them and open them all up for all of us to see. She got a heart necklace and bracelet and Gibby got a fun toy truck.

We headed down to my parents house around 2:30pm.We took some family pictures.

Gibby and I hate looking into the sun.

All dressed up in Easter/Spring gear.

Hatcher got to come which we haven't figured out if he likes it or hates it.

My brother and I went out and hide the eggs before my sisters and their families came. All of the grandkids ran around the backyard finding eggs. It is so cute how excited children get trying to find eggs.

And then we ate.

YUM!

We had a great Easter and are so glad Spring is here!

Thanks for the Easter Packages:
Grandma Donna and Papa Don sent an Easter package with goodies, a Hat,a yellow duck and fun toys. Grandma Peggy and grandpa Randy bought Etta's Easter dress, a cute bunny candy along with a easter stamp and a wooden block set for Gibby. Etta left my parents house covered from head to toe in Easter stamps.

Cute pictures! Glad you had a great Easter. Etta did a great job dying Easter eggs. We had that in our schedule but ran out of time. Next year!
