Easter 2010

Another Easter has come and gone. We celebrated by going through our usual routine. I guess "tradition" would be a more heartwarming word to use. On Easter Eve we boiled, then decorated 2 dozen eggs. Notice the look on Austin's face and you can probably guess what's going through his head. After dying a few eggs he said apologetically, "Mom, I'm just too big now to hunt for eggs in the morning." I told him that was ok, that now he could be the one to hide them.
That put a smile on his face!
Aaron tried to get in on the fun but got sent to the couch for teasing too much :) Ha, ha!
We dipped some of the eggs in dye and did a marbleizing technique others. Then Lauren decided to add some finishing touches.
The kids either got ultra-creative or ultra-sloppy, I'm not sure which, but we sure ended up with
some colorful, unique eggs.

The next morning after opening Easter baskets, Austin got to work hiding the eggs...

and the girls got busy finding them.
The rest of the day was spent hanging out at home. Lauren played with her new ball, Amanda read her new book and Austin played his new video game. Aaron and I spent the day raiding the baskets for treats and begging our children for chocolate.

Of course, Lauren would have to add creative detail on the eggs. They've all grown so much that you don't have one that sits on top off the counter anymore.
