Easter!

We've been doing lots of activities this month to celebrate Easter!  At the beginning of the month we did some Easter crafts.  We painted suncatchers and decorated paper eggs to put around the house.

Notice how the Transformers are never far away...

The kids had a great time going through the Easter bin and putting decorations around the house.  Their favorite is putting spring themed ornaments on the Easter tree.

The weekend before Easter, Grandma S came over and we colored Easter eggs and made sugar cookies!  At first, Alex didn't want to use his hands to handle the eggs, but he quickly got over it.

This year we showed the kids how to use the white crayons to write words or drawings before coloring them!

Alex's Eggs

Aurora's Eggs

We used Megan's cookie dough, which is the best EVER.  Usually Megan rolls it out and does the cookies with the kids.  This year she couldn't make it.  When I went to roll out the dough, Aurora asked me, "Are you sure you know how to do this?"

Yummy cookies!

Finally the big day came!  The Easter bunny filled their baskets with lots of loot!

Aurora's favorite item was this little Ty bunny, named "Carrots"

Alex was all about the chocolate!

Then they raced around the house to find all of the plastic eggs he had hidden!

In the afternoon, we got dressed in our Easter best and headed to Grandma and Grandpa K's house.

Where the kids hid their plastic eggs and even convinced Uncle Joe and Auntie to hunt for them!

It was a fun day!
