Remember Easter?

I know Easter was a long time ago but it seemed like a good  point to start catching up from.
Mama decided it would be fun to make an Easter egg tree this year.  We blew out the eggs then dyed them just using regular old food coloring and a little vinegar. The boys had a grand time.

 Sam was determined to make this egg green, really green. In fact he was so detemined that this was the ONLY egg that he dyed. He just kept putting the same egg back in the cup and holding it there.

In the end I think his hand was greener than his egg...and stayed that way for days.

 The tree was a success!

Upon waking Easter morning Mama quickly realized that the Easter bunny had forgotten about hiding the baskets.. so she made a quick call to the bunny while Papa distracted the boys upstairs and the baskets got hidden in the backyard just in the nick of time.  The bunny left a trail of eggs in the yard leading to the hidden baskets. 

 Wyatt was quite surprised to find a basket of goodies hidden behind the wood pile. He was a little unsure at first but when I assured him it was for him he was very excited.

 Sam was a little less enthusiastic about the whole basket thing, he just wanted to go back inside and get to work on that giant chocolate Easter bunny that our neighbors gave him.

 Next we were off to the Easter egg hunt in in town.  Here Mr. Sloan gives the preschool group the run down on what to do.

 And they are off!

Afterwards the boys compared baskets with some of thier friends.

 My favorite part of the day was when a car drove past the kids and Sam (who is 2 years old) says "Throw eggs at the cars!" That must come from his Papa's side of the family.
