Easter Morning

We were greeted by a snowstorm on Easter morning, which really confused my children! Alyssa announced frantically that the Easter bunny couldn't hop in that much snow, so Santa must have brought the eggs for him in his sleight. Therefore it must be Christmas, and we forgot the tree! Poor kid!

After about 25 trips to pee (Rylan is potty training, and preggo Mommy had to pee a lot too!) they started their egg hunt at my mother in laws. I had a goal to try not to give them too much chocolate this year, so I was so happy to find play-doh eggs, they were a huge hit! Although, they still received their fair share of chocolate.

We also gave them each an outfit and a sand bucket full of goodies. Out of everything in their buckets, they liked their new bandanas best, apparently they looked just like the ones on Jake and the Neverland Pirates!

Because of the snowstorm we couldn't make it to Church, so we read and talked about the Easter story at home. Luckily, the snow cleared in time for Easter dinner at my grandmother's.

'Twas the Night Before Easter

The night before Easter was a busy one for us. We had our family dinner with Troy's mother and grandparents tonight, usually his aunts and uncle would be there too but they were out of town this year. The food and company were great, and even better was the chocolate trifle for dessert!

Then we dyed our eggs! The kids had a great time, although Rylan ended up dying himself as well. We turned the experience into a mini science lesson by discussing how the dye works, and a colour lesson by having Rylan identify the dyes that we were using.

They loved having their eggs for breakfast Easter morning!

Easter Pictures

I received a Canon Rebel DSLR for Christmas, and had promised hubby that it would save us money because we wouldn't need to have professional pictures done, but until last week I hadn't even attempted to take any. I had intended to take their Easter pictures outside, but the weather would not cooperate of course, so I attempted to turn our dining room into a makeshift studio- this was the result (most are before editing).

This was the best shot I could get of all three of them! It's nearly impossible to have a dramatic 4 year old, an energetic 3 year old, and a crawling 9 month old look at the camera at the same time!
