EASTER!
decorating eggs
everyone showing off their eggs
about to hunt easter eggs
emily (my sister and her daughter kylee were visiting) and i filled over 100 plastic eggs the night before with money and candy, then we had to deliver the eggs the kids colored to the easter bunny so he could hide them (we hid all the eggs during this important kid-safe errand). we hid them all in the backyard and instructed kylee to get the hard-to-find eggs, and em and el to leave the ones on the ground for drew. it worked pretty well.
Drew found his first egg! It had jelly beans in it, and he thought it was so fun to shake it!
notice his tongue sticking out - he is really concentrating on putting that egg in the basket. then he is comparing how each egg shakes differently. which one will be yummier? oooo, a clear egg i can see the candy inside!
emma and ella hunting eggs
almost done and ready to count
back inside to empty the eggs, eat the candy, and count the money!
ella is nicely instructing drew that those are HER eggs and he may NOT touch them
got the piggy banks out to put their money in and drew kept kissing his! then of course when emma saw how much we enjoyed this show, they had to do it too!
peeling the real eggs for deviled eggs - a big mess and many torn up eggs, but so fun for the kids!
ella eating dessert outside - strawberries, bananas and marshmallows with chocolate dip!
