Easter Pictures

We had a really good Easter weekend. Amy and Georgia came over on Thursday evening and we (Amy and I ) colored easter eggs for the big hunt.  The girls didn't get that involved because it was around dinner time and they wanted to eat the eggs and drink the dye.  We sent Michael for pizza and then everyone was happy.  Dying eggs was not how I remembered it to be. It was a lot more work and a huge mess. I see why plastic eggs are so popular, but you have to color eggs.  It is an Easter tradition...  The weather was nice all weekend long which was great for our hunt. Ellie, Georgia and Lauryn (Ellie and Georgia's friend who is 8 months older than Ellie and lives 2 houses down from us) all hunted about 40 eggs that Amy and I hid, while Walker sat on the sidelines.  Next year will be interesting with Walker out there hunting eggs as well.  There are a ton of pictures in this post so I wont write much.  

The kids had fun opening their baskets on Easter morning. Ellie didn't want to wait for us to take the foil off the eggs and Walker wanted whatever was in Ellie's hand.  The tug-of-wars have already started.

Preparing to color eggs...
Different angle. It was nice to do it on the bar because we have a big workspace and we didn't care if it made a mess since we are getting new countertops tomorrow.

Looking for eggs...
She would pick the eggs up and if they made a noise then she wanted them open so she could eat what was inside, if they did not make a noise then she threw them back down.
