Easter 2009 (mostly in pictures)

We spent Easter in SoDak this year. On Saturday night, we had Jackson's 3rd birthday party + egg dying in Grandpa Terry's shop. Talk about craziness and chaos!

First, Quinn thought you had to peel the eggs before you could do anything. She looked so confused as she peeled away and everyone else was dunking eggs into dye.




She figured it out, and then decided to dye a dozen eggs yellow. She didn't want any other colors - just the yellow. Then when it came time to clean up, she helped - by putting all of her eggs into the cardboard "egg-drying" box. She had at least 10 eggs in there before anyone realized what she was doing.



Jackson thought that the eggs were far too round, so he created egg mush. Either that, or he really wanted some scrambled eggs.



G had a blast. One hand was green, one hand was purple, and in between was a huge smile.



Turner got the most amazing colors - really deep and dark. I can't believe Grandma tried to help him in her white pantsuit. Seriously - who else but Grandma would wear white to a shop party/birthday party/egg dying party?!? And she didn't have a spot on her when she left.



Noah was serious about his eggs. He used a wax crayon and drew Star Wars images on them. As you can see, Dad totally approved. Ha!



The twins and Taryn were held and cuddled by everyone, but they didn't get to play with eggs. Next year should be fun. :-)

On Sunday, we went to church and then to Grandma and Grandpa's house for food, egg hunting, and more food. We threw in some candy-eating to break up the food.

Hope you had a great Easter, too!
