Easter Festivities

So the Easter activities around here were fun for all! M was so excited to dye eggs. She thought that we would actually get to paint them (as in paint brush) but quickly discovered dying them was okay too! She is such a cute little girl and loves art. She liked coloring on the eggs with the wax crayon and discovering the design on the egg when it came up!

I think B was excited because she finally got to hold an egg. She always wants me to let her help crack the eggs while cooking...but this privilege is reserved until about the age of five! (I don't like messes) She was thrilled that she actually got to hold the eggs. The only thing that disappointed her was that there was no purple dye, purple being her favorite color of late!

Our final product! M was sad that we cracked them and actually used them on Easter Sunday! I guess good things don't always last forever. She did enjoy the potato salad that they made though!

M found a little puppy in her Easter basket. She decided to name him Chocolate. Later she decided he needed a first, middle, and last name. She came up with Chocolate Vanilla Cupcake...a girl after my own hear!

B found a baby in a purple outfit in her Easter basket! She loves her "purple baby!"

M and B both loved looking for the Easter eggs the bunny hid all over the house. M was very thoughtful and saved some of the eggs for B. B however held her own and by the end was snagging most of the eggs!

B was thrilled to learn that there was candy in the eggs. For Easter dinner we went to our friends house, the L's, and had another Easter egg hunt. We just hide empty eggs for the kids to find since they all had a lot of candy already! B ran around finding lots of eggs but refused to put them in her basket because they were empty. She would open the egg and get a disgusted look on her face since there was no candy in it! It was a fun day and the girls had a lot of fun!
