I finally feel like we're getting a hold of the traditions we want to do with our kids. The first is decorating eggs. We went really simple this year- just dyed 11 eggs (they were brown as that's what our farmer has- the colors were so pretty!!). We've decided this is a good Easter Saturday activity.
We quickly realized having the eggs set up like above for stickering was NOT conducive to a 2-year-old who doesn't understand the effects of gravity and delicacy of egg shells. |
when she was done she spent a good 30 minutes "dying" our plastic eggs. |
Goof! |
We've officially nixed anything edible! We spend a lot on the Busy Bible but it was worth it! We'll be getting the girls a new Shining Light doll every year, outdoor activities and whatever else I can find on clearance at Shopko :) |
This one just enjoyed filling and unfilling her Easter basket. I found a ballerina doll for $2- SO perfect for her right now! |
Busy Bible was a huge hit too |
After Mass we headed over to my parents' for lunch, egg hunt, naps and then dinner. |
The Cousins were able to come over for lunch and the hunt! |
These two get a long so well! |
The adults "helping" |
Everyone had to hunt for eggs of a specific color. Sam's, of course, was blue (Elsa's color...when will this obsession end??) |
WOAH! A smile- and on CAMERA!?!? |
Genevieve will have a playmate her age too- coming in October! |
Easter "baskets" this year were t-shirts made into bags. So easy and so cute. |
Yes, please encourage make-up... |
Poor Tess... |
Happy Easter!!!
