Easter

Easter was good this year. We took our baskets and eggs up to the inlaws and the Easter bunny found us there. But first we had to color eggs. I want to know how you do that with a bunch of kids. It was hard enough trying to keep 1 child from getting it everywhere. Tyree is a little impatient. She never wanted to let them soak very long to get that good color. Dad was very good at helping her and giving her a little coaching on how to get the best color. We had to strap little man in his high chair. He's just tall enough to reach the top of the table and kept trying to pull the plastic down with all the dye on it. We only did 18 but they were beautiful. I made a Wonder Woman one, but our red would not get very dark no matter how long it was in there. I still like it though. A couple days before Easter we had some plastic eggs that we had to hide and find every day so we could "practice." Kelly's work had an egg hunt and a brunch on Saturday so we went to that. It was fun but I didn't get any pictures. The Easter bunny was good to the kids as usual. Tyree kept saying "Look what the Easter bunny gave me. He is So nice." All that practicing paid off and she found all of the eggs (of course). Then we had to hide and find for the rest of the day. She got this amazing new outfit with sunglasses. Of course she had to help brother get into his basket too. Our Easter dinner was delicious and I made the cake. (sorry the pic is sideways) That was our Easter, nice but low key. The week following I kept having to convince Tyree that the bunny wasn't going to hide eggs every morning, even if we boiled more. He only does it once a year.
