Easter

This Easter, I finally bit the bullet and let them color eggs. We've only used plastic eggs in the past. The kids did great and thought the process was fascinating. The kids had an Easter party at school and brought home plastic eggs with candy, so we actually just used those eggs to hid and decided to just eat the ones we colored because they never really dried.  It was great that the kids already had the eggs from school, because we didn't even end up buying any more candy for them!

We had pancakes and hard boiled eggs for breakfast. The kids actually liked the hard boiled eggs and Brenna even at the white part! Of course, she dipped it in her syrup, so now she thinks that you eat hard boiled eggs with syrup. yuck.

The egg hunt was pretty funny. Brenna just cannot contain her excitement and squeals so loud! It's really cute but absolutely ear piercing. She loved racing around to find the eggs. Jace was a little less impressed with the egg finding. Brenna was great and tried to show him were a few eggs were. I thought for sure they would be competitive and fight over the eggs, but he really didn't care much.

 What Jace was really into was the new matchbox cars the Easter bunny left. And really, both kids just wanted to eat the candy :)

 We got the kids new night time books and surprisingly they were a big hit. This wasn't even a staged picture! It's so funny how kids will always surprise you.

Thank you for all the Easter cards, toys, and treats that were sent! Wish we could have spent the day with you all! Love you!
