Easter Weekend

The boys and I had a lot of fun celebrating Easter with my family last weekend.  Corey was unfortunately left out of the equation, as it was his on-call weekend for work. :(

On Saturday afternoon, we dyed eggs.  We decided to try one of those “swirly” dying kits this year, which turned out some really pretty eggs.  The problem, however, is with the cooking oil that’s required to achieve the swirled effect…the eggs are left with a rather messy oily coating.

Trevor insisted on wearing his tie-dyed t-shirt to match the eggs we were making!

On Sunday, we headed down to Waynesboro for our annual Easter dinner get-together with my mother’s side of the family. This Easter was extra-special since our little Ella was able to participate in her first egg hunt! She had a blast and knew just what to do!

“I know there’s something in here!”

My tree-climbing kiddo could not resist climbing my grandmother’s large dogwood tree.

My mother wanted a “nice” photo of her three grandchildren together on Easter. By the time I got a chance at this, all three kids were tired and grumpy from the festivities and the resulting photos were, well…not so nice! The following represents the best of the batch! :D

I hope all of you had a wonderful Easter with your families, too!

Candy House

Aaron’s class made candy houses in school last week, and he’s been so proud of his handiwork!  He insisted I post the photos up on my blog, so…here you go!

The boys and I colored eggs today, and tomorrow we will be celebrating Easter with my family in Waynesboro.  It’ll be so much fun watching my 13-month-old niece, Ella look for eggs!  I’ll be taking lots of photos, which I hope to post here on the blog this week.  Happy Easter!
