Easter Highlights

Dyeing Easter Eggs

We dyed half of our eggs using a rubber cement resist method similar to batik.

The Easter Bunny left a basket of goodies for Simon.

The big boys, however, found this note and golden egg instead of their baskets. The note told them that instead of hunting eggs (since they were going to have a huge egg hunt at Gigi's that afternoon) they were going to have to hunt for their Easter baskets.

Each clue led them to a new location and a new golden egg until they eventually (okay, more like 1.5 minutes later) found their baskets hiding in the car.

Ready to hunt eggs at Gigi's house!

Look high and low and all around! There were literally hundreds of eggs to be found, and Sawyer quickly had to switch out his basket for a grocery sack to hold all of them! He moved so quickly around the yard and back behind the trees with his cousin Jedi that I didn't even get a chance to take very many pictures of them!

Sutton was much slower and methodical in his egg hunting approach, savoring the victory each time he snatched one up. Despite his lack of speed, he still managed to fill up his entire basket with candy and trinket filled plastic eggs. He skipped right over all of the dyed chicken eggs, saying "We already have a LOT of these real eggs at home!"

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend as well!
