Hard at work!
Allie was so cute with her eggs. She kept pulling the egg out to check it and watched intently as it soaked in the dye.
Kassie is always good for a funny facial expresion! I don't know what color she was expecting but it came out yellow.
Who needs friends when you have a sister to lean on?
For the more patient type who are willing to hold an egg half way into the dye in one color then the other half in a second color you can get a cool egg like Brock's.
Our brightly colored eggs. Great job kids!
The kids were up before 7:00 am! I think it was earlier then Christmas morning. They quickly found their baskets filled with a small toy and chocolate bunny and were ready to hunt for their eggs.
yo-yo for Kassie
jump rope for Mikele
big sparkly bouncy ball for Allie
and a cap gun for Brock. Jason said every boy needs a cap gun.
Really, I don't think there are any eggs in the freezer! That tricky bunny hid the hard boiled eggs in the garage.
Do you see the egg?
Now that all 60 eggs have been found it is time to enjoy the "sweets" of our labors! After a fried egg breakfast we went to the Millville City egg hunt. There were hundreds of eggs and within a matter of minutes they had all been collected. As part of the kid's baskets we gave them gift certificates to go miniature golfing. It was a perfect day to enjoy 18 holes on the lush greens at The Willows. After the golf game we went home, loaded the car and headed to Blackfoot. I already posted about that part of our trip here. Ironically I didn't get a single group shot of the kids in their new Easter dresses and tie. The closest I came is of the one the kids horsing around with Papa. I will have to take a pictures next Sunday.

What a brilliant idea! I struggle with how to balance the commercial/fantasy part of Easter with the real meaning of Easter. I'm totally stealing this idea for next year! Thanks Nicole! Oh, and darling pictures!
