Dying Easter Eggs

Another fun tradition...inviting the Grandparents over to dye Easter Eggs with us.  Morgan had a lot of fun coloring the eggs with crayons this year.  My mom has noticed that none my scrapbook pages have pictures of me on them because I'm always the one taking the pictures.  So she grabbed the camera and snapped some shots so it looks like I actually participate in these events.  Thanks Grandma!!!

1st Annual Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt and Breakfast

We decided to be proactive this year and plan a neighborhood Easter egg hunt followed by breakfast on our patio.  I don't really like being the one to plan and be in charge of things.  I would much rather be one the one who shows up with a pan of muffins or something.  But it went really well and I'm definitely glad we did it.  3 and younger hunted in our backyard and the rest went all the way around the block.  Randy was busy making french toast while the hunt was going on.  I didn't get many pictures because I was busy helping Teagan find eggs and then busy making sure breakfast was all ready to go but these few will give you a good idea.  We're planning on making this a yearly tradition.

Easter Bunny

Easter was a lot of fun this year.  The boys LOVED finding eggs this year, especially Morgan.  Saturday morning we woke up to find that the Easter Bunny had come and left candy-filled eggs all over the house.  Teagan was all about picking up eggs until one came apart and he discovered they had candy in them.  After that, all he wanted to do was eat candy.  It was pretty funny.  I'm thinking he had about 10 times the amount of sugar he should have in one day just in the first couple hours of the day.  Oh well.
