EASTER


Just in case you are wondering-
Little man isn't mad about the basket..
He is hacked because the CCAA hasn't sent his Mama
her dad-gum Travel Approval!


I did find this for Adam .
I actually purchased the white...
but it wouldn't have shown up on here.
It made me laugh.



The kids colored 3 1/2 dozen eggs.




Stacy didn't want Santa to feel bad....
so he gave him an egg-y shout out!





Rachel is really getting good at this.
She prefers the brown eggs, like me.

We both like the darker colors that are the result.



Caleb is still dying eggs .
I love it.
He looks forward to it just as much as the little ones.



Wonder Woman decided that she would take a day off from fighting
crime to get busy.

Not a single drop was spilled on the suit!
YAY!



Hannah quietly enjoying the egg dying.
She has the same expression on her face in every
"egg dying" picture that we have ever taken.
She just loves tradition.



And so does this guy.

He loves getting in there and doin' it up with the kids.
This year he wrote on an egg in Chinese, He made a watermelon~
which was really cool, BTW, and He even threw in a little tie-die action.

The kids love trying to out-do him.

It is fun to watch.



Ben got the hang of the wax pencil, this year.
He really came up with some cool stuff.
He told me that I could "have" the brown eggs...
he liked the white.
"Easter eggs are supposed to be pink and blue and yellow...not red!"
Like he's Peter Cottontail all of the sudden.



Some of the eggs.



Easter Morning.
Guess who didn't want his picture taken.

Ben WILL NOT pose for a picture...never would....
he just hates it.



There are alot of reasons that I enjoy a big family.
One of my favorites has to be that we can have an
EASTER EGG HUNT without ever leaving the house
or inviting any other kids.

Throw in some cupcakes and it's a party!



Rachel finds eggs like she is getting paid.
She is wearing Hannah's old Golf Shoes.
She loves them..not real sure why.

I had to separate her & Ben.
Ben would spot the egg
and then she would take off running, pass him up,and get it.
Sassy Thang!



Hannah and Caleb did a great job hiding for the kids.



My sweet boy.



She found her "orange flower egg" that her Daddy made for her!



Caleb helping Rachel count her eggs.



It was just a great day.

I hope everyone had a great day,too.

  5. Such fun!!!!

    I love the scissor egg holders btw, and I've never seen, (or tried) brown eggs colored...I like the dark colors as well:-). The brown eggs are easier to find up my way, and I think next year I'll forego the search for white, and give them a go! Thx.

    Come on TA!!!!

    Love, Tam
