Easter Activities

Baby Addie

Yay! Our first full family picture on our blog!

This year we didn't do our city egg hunt. My kids aren't aggressive enough for those. This is always what happens: we get the kids up and hurry to get dressed, hurry to eat, hurry to get a good spot right in front, wait in the cold wind for it to start and then when it starts, they get pushed around and 30 seconds later when all the eggs are cleared off, we see the five eggs that we collected and we hear them announce the winners of the bikes (which is never us) and then we get in our car and wait for 30 minutes to leave the parking lot. I know I'm mean but we just didn't feel up to all that this year. So we went to my parents for their annual hunt. The odds are better for my kids to actually fill their baskets with delicious candy for me to eat.

We did color Easter eggs though. I never take pictures of us actually coloring the eggs I've noticed. I think it's because I'm so excited to "help" the kids color them that I just never think of getting the camera until they are all colored. Anyway, it was fun. So here is a picture of Elli eating the eggs. We had a fun experiment with adding vegetable oil to our dye and we did it on purpose. (Okay, It wasn't on purpose. My brain wasn't working and I put vegetable oil in when I meant to put vinegar.) But it really turned out fun.
