Easter Day and Coloring Eggs

We had a wonderful Easter! We did miss Andy and he missed us, but he did have a wonderful time on his sports trip.

Dressed all up for Easter

After our fun activities Saturday, Easter egg hunts and Baseball game, we attempted egg coloring. Gibby was being a stinker and the dogs were bothering all of us. The end result, eggs cracked all over floor, dogs trying frantically to eat them, Gibby laughing and Etta was sad. (We went and got more eggs to color in the morning)


Broken eggs :(

I put the kids to bed and got to work being the Easter bunny. It was tons of fun. They each got a book and a toy that matched, play dough and eggs filled with jelly beans and pennies. I hid the eggs all over the front room and then tossed the extra jelly beans around the room.




When we woke up the next morning the dogs went outside until all the candy and eggs where found and picked up. Etta loved her Fancy Nancy book and doll. She was also excited for the play dough. Gibby loved the cars and drove them all over the floor picking up jelly beans to put in his mouth. He loved the money in the eggs and kept opening them up and saying "money, money".


Excited for all the jelly beans on the floor

Saving some for later


After breakfast we tried once again at the egg decorating. We did pretty good and ended playing with the new play dough.

Decorating eggs:

First need crayons and cups of dye


Color eggs and drop into cups


Gibby has got it down


Colored eggs!


Play dough time!


Showing me their creations


Off to my moms for another egg hunt, coloring of more eggs and Easter Dinner. On the way over Gibby fell asleep. He missed out on the egg hunt and I am mad I didn't get a cute picture of him and his Easter outfit.

Etta is a great egg finder!

The kids then colored more eggs.



Look how pretty, we will eat these later

My sister and her family came over for dinner too. Ham, mashed potatoes, peas, cheesy string beans and chocolate ice box pie. Oh yeah, and deviled eggs!

What a wonderful Easter!

You are lookin way good in your new accessories! And of course Etta looks like a princess, as usual.

I was bummed to hear about your bad experience at the easter egg hunt AND your dogs eating the eggs. I'm glad the second try dying eggs went better and that you had fun with your family. :)
