Easter weekend pictures

The Easter weekend started Friday afternoon with dying easter eggs. This turned out to be a lot more work and a mess than fun (for me anyway). The kids seemed to enjoy it though.

Bella had pink hands for 2 days!

Tony's green hands thankfully washed off better than Bella's red ones.

Tony at Sabbath School. He loves going up front to "help out"

Tony participating in Sabbath School (not always the case, so I was happy to see him having fun and being good.)

Bella at the Eau Claire Egg Hunt

Tony scored a ton of eggs! He moved pretty fast. Bella on the other hand, had to stop, shake and open each egg as she collected them.

The slide was way more fun than collecting eggs for Bella

Getting their Easter baskets!! Bella exclaiming "Dora!"

Tony really liked his lobster. The Easter bunny shopped the Target $1 aisle this year, and the cheap toys were a hit!

Dora panties.... now if only she can learn to use them!

Having a little chocolate for breakfast!

All the plastic eggs to be hidden in the yard later. Stuffed with goodies.

I made homemade cinnamon rolls for brunch and they turned out good. Even Tony gave them the thumbs up!

High Society Easter eggs!! Mixed in with the county folk eggs.

Jason and Ben

The whole gang, getting ready for the big hunt! 180 eggs waiting to be found.

Bella

Tony

She got a lot of eggs this time! Figured out it's better to collect first and inspect them later.

Kristen, Rachael and Natalie

And that was our weekend! Since I haven't blogged in a while, I scrolled back to see what my last few posts were about, and ironically, the second to last post I did, was Easter 2010. Shocking how much the kids have changed in a years time.

Happy Easter!

Opening up his Easter basket! He climbed up on the table and got into it all by himself while I was upstairs getting ready. I heard him saying "mama what's this?" and found him up on the kitchen table getting into his basket!

Bella was a little more patient and waited for me to give her her Easter basket.

Ooh, Chocolate!! Just for me?

Grandma and Grandpa got Easter presents for the kids too!

After lunch we had an Easter Egg Hunt and it started in the house when Francie hid eggs on Grandpa Russ while he was napping.

Katya

Kristen (apparently 13 is not too old to enjoy a good ol Easter egg hunt!)

Ben

Jason helping Tony find some eggs

Every time he found a plastic egg he would crack it open and see what was inside.

Francie hid some eggs on the tractor too, I think she had picture taking in mind when she did that! Too bad Tony was so into the egg hunt that he would never stop to look at the camera.
