Easter!

Happy Easter! This is one of the best Easters of my adult life - I had such a fabulous day. It started by going to church which is always packed on Easter Sunday and is entertaining because of the sheer volume of kids who are just waiting until the service is over so they can go to the Easter Egg Hunt. We skipped the hunt this year since we figured James wouldn't notice (he didn't) and I had to get home and finish getting dinner together. Cory, Jamie, Kaylynn, Carmen, Sophie, and Stephanie came over to our house for dinner. We had a great meal and over-ate as is tradition with a good American holiday. After dinner, Kaylynn and Sophie watched "The Princess and the Frog".

Sophie, Carmen, and Stephanie had to leave after the movie. And after we all woke up from good naps, Kaylynn and James dyed Easter Eggs. I probably wouldn't have attempted this with just James but Kaylynn showed him the ropes of dying. He was more interested in banging eggs together and dropped them forcefully into the cups of dye.

Of course, after dying, we had to have an Easter Egg Hunt and the weather was nice enough for this to occur outside! Cory and I reminisced about the days of spending Easter at our grandparents and how we used to hide eggs all day long. Both kids enjoyed finding the eggs and we had several rounds of hiding. As I said, it was a fabulous day!
