Easter!

Ahhh Easter.  What can I say about this holiday other than it's a really great day for quality family time.  We usually have a brunch with both famillies or go out of town but this year we found ourselves on our own and made the best of it.  The night before I helped the kids dye eggs, a holiday tradition that is always a hit or skip for us.  But the boys (and even Naomi) really enjoyed it this year so I think we will do it again.  As a matter of fact Julian and Naomi even ate a hard boiled egg and liked it!  Yay! 








The boys had dinosaur baskets since they have been so interested in dinosaurs lately.  They both got a book, tattoos, and an aracheologist dig kit.  And candy of course!  They loved them!



Pretty little princess Naomi got a unicorn themed basket, complete with a unicorn squishable!  Love that thing, I might steal it from her.  She got a Sophia/unicorn book, unicorn tattoos, and candy!  She also loved her treats!


Breakfast!  I made a french toast bake that sat overnight marinating in it's sweet cream, milk, sugar and spice mixture.  It was delicious but a tad too sweet.  I felt a little ill after eating it.  Guess I'll look for a less sugary version next time.


Julian and Noah started on their dinosaur dig kits right away!  I mean seriously, there were outside at 8:00 am working on those things.  At least they were quiet and didn't wake the neighbors with screaming and yelling.




Finally, the grass was dry and we were all dressed and ready for the egg hunt!  They lined up, youngest to oldest and went out to the backyard one at a time.  I truly have no idea how many eggs I hid, I lost track.  But I know I had 10 hard boiled eggs (and they were all found).  The kids had a blast and it was fun to watch them!  









Grandma came over and brought the kids each one of these handmade "ugly bunnies".  They have been all the rage in the house and no one will go to bed without them.
