Easter Festivities

Easter starts at an early hour in our house...of course my oldest is always up at the crack of dawn to see if/what the Easter Bunny brought.  This year was super fun because my youngest is now old enough to hunt for eggs.  Once he saw his brother find a couple, he started looking for them and before I knew it, they had found all 5 dozen eggs!

I have said it before and I am sure I will say it a million more times in my lifetime...these are the days I live for!

 They discovered that there were gifts too!

 

 

This is only the beginning.  Family starts to arrive mid-morning and we start on the appetizers and hang out.

We stuff ourselves with the appetizers to the point that we aren't ready for dinner until late afternoon.  Nevertheless, we all enjoy sitting down to a Hliday dinner.

Dessert doesn't happen until later in the evening!

I always love the Holiday's and I love to share "the days of our lives" with others. I hope you enjoyed your Easter with friends and family.

Decorating Eggs for Easter

We start with 5 dozen eggs!  It may seem like a lot but when you have 12 different colors of dye, it really only equals out to 5 eggs in each color.

 I can remember when I was young and my sister and I used to dye eggs, we were lucky to have 3-4 colors to choose from.  If you wanted a special color outside of the primary colors, you had to put the egg in one color and then transfered it to another color to get your secondary colors.

 Ready, Set, Go....

 Malachi is finally old enough to put the eggs in and taken them out by himself.  He had fun this year being in charge of his own eggs.

 Jacob thought the eggs were ready to eat and when he realized they weren't he decided they were "balls" so he tried to throw them.

 That meant it was time to give him plastic eggs to play with. 

 I made special eggs for the 3 boys in my life!

Look at all those different colors...I was surprised to see the color gray.

Just about done!  We had a blast...Jacob not so much, I don't think he really realized what was going on.  Next year though, he will understand more and he will too, have a blast dying Easter eggs with the family!
