Easter Review

Easter was mellow with just the five of us.  We had a great day though, laid back with beautiful weather.

We died eggs the night before, and it went well.  This year we had the kids color the eggs  with crayons before dying an it was a big hit.  They felt more involved and the eggs turned out really cool.  Alice broke her egg shells, of course, but we just didn't die those ones.

Katherine got up first Easter morning.  She came in our room to wake us up AFTER she's checked out the goods in the kitchen :)  She was happy with her loot.

                            

The Easter bunny did a great job hiding eggs, if I do say so myself.  The girls had a great time hunting them up.  Alice was very strategic about her collecting, thought about how to get at some of the trickier eggs for awhile before collecting - cute.

  

Easter morning proved too exciting for Jane, she needed a power nap to recharge for church - it also may have been that Katherine had to wake her up to see what that sneaky bunny brought them.

                               

After church and some lunch some chalk coloring in the shade was in order.  Alice insisted on sitting ON the square I was coloring so they all turned out blurry and her butt looked like a rainbow.  Interestingly enough, this is the 4th dress she had on that day.  The first three got wet for various reasons.   Good thing she's got two older sisters and a million hand me downs, the kid can do outfit changes all day long and still not run out of clothes!

We had a wonderful day and rejoiced in the meaning of Easter with our family.  Hope yours was great too!
