Easter

We had Easter at our house and there were a few things that we did to prepare for our family coming over. About this time every year, the boys talk about planting seeds and growing thing at school. This is the second year that we have grown grass seed in egg shells. But, this is the first year that we used them as place card holders at Easter dinner. The boys helped water the seeds everyday for almost three weeks. They loved seeing the end result!

We knew that everyone would want deviled eggs -- we just added a little color to the eggs!

Evan and Benjamin are checking out some Easter basket goodies.

The hunt is on. The Easter bunny and Brian hid eggs in the yard. Ethan was fast but took time to open each egg as he found it and preceded to eat the candy out of it before moving on. End result for Ethan: less eggs but great sugar high!

Can you see all the eggs in Benjamin's basket?



So glad that we could share Easter with our family! It was a great day!

A wonderful afternoon with "the usual suspects" for sure - thanks for hosting. Next year, I want to participate in the Easter egg hunt. Stickers, candy and treats oh my.
