Easter Festivites

This Easter was a busy one for us, we had a house full of people. On Saturday night we dyed eggs with the girls and played some games after the kids went to bed. 

 

Easter morning Dani gave us a little program about Jesus and the meaning of Easter. They made a little project at school that she presented to us. It was cute and a good way to go away from all the baskets and candy for a while. Thanks Dani you did a great job.

 

Getting Easter dinner ready was a little stressful for me this year. I am used to having everyone over when the house is clean, table set, and food is about ready. Thankfully Cara was here to help with getting the food, house and help with Brooklyn before it was time to eat or dinner would have been delayed a while. We had the Barnett Family (3), the Givenrod Family (4), the Wheeler Family (4), Mark and Cara and US. I felt like mom when we would all show up.

The new way to dye eggs with little ones, saw it in a magazine. Put the egg in a wire whisk and it does not get you messy and the egg stays uncracked. 

 B was quite proud of her pink egg with her name on it. She had to show it to everyone. 

 All the girls, don't know who had more fun the adults or the kids?

Thank you for the pretty Easter dress Nana. Doesn't she look so grown up here? Her baby face is going away, well the cheeks aren't but she is starting to look older to me. Sad

What is the face all about?

Playing outside before dinner with Garrett. They are at the phase where if the other kid has it they want it.

Watch out!! I see eggs must get them.. our little egg hunt after dinner.
Before it got really cold.

Garrett would drop his eggs out of his basket and Brooklyn would be right behind picking them up. She was serious about those eggs.

All the egg hunters.
Thank you all for coming and spending the holiday with us it is always great to spend time with close friends and family. We are blessed in so many ways.
