Easter Festivities


We had a lot of fun spring Easter festivities.  We had an egg hunt and breakfast at the church the weekend before Easter and as seen in the picture, there were some extra large eggs to be found!

Abby was putting her mothering skills to use holding one of her favorite little baby girls, Kate.
The group showing off their new found treasures.

Oh a basket full of eggs.

Egg gathering.

We also went to a community egg hunt at a local church and they gave away two baskets, one for a boy and one for a girl.  There were probably 100 kids there and Abby won the basket for the girl.  She was very tickled to say the least.

Ready to hunt and ready to go.

I still find it odd to have pictures with a dressed-up Easter Bunny if feels so different than say Santa Claus, but oh well, the girls enjoyed it.

We tried to make the hollow rolls where you tell the story of Jesus and wrap dough in around a marshmallow and then when baked, the roll is hollow inside because the mallow melts (aka the tomb), but yeah, mine didn't have as much success, they were mostly hollow.  Oh well, they were covered in cinnamon and sugar, but the girls still ate them for breakfast!

We did tie-dye egg dying this year, the girls had a good time as evidences by the many traces of colors left behind on their hands.

The final results.


These are the best shots the girls gave me of them with their baskets.  They were in a hurry to put them in a bag so they didn't get mixed up.
