Easter Sunday

Even Superman dyes eggs!

 
 




















Having Grandma visiting, made Easter extra special this year. The day before, the kids got to dye the eggs with P-pa, Mi-ma and Grandma. So special to watch. Meli was more of a participant this year. We ended up with some pretty cute eggs. A lot of pink ones! Meli kept sneaking eggs and dropping them in the pink dye. She is obsessed with pink. I was trying to show her the neat idea of two colors...but no, she just wanted to drop it in.

The kids were very excited to leave out their baskets for the bunny. Colin thinks it is so funny that the Easter bunny likes to hide our eggs. "Such a silly bunny". Kids are too cute! The kids were so funny trying to find all of the eggs on Sunday morning. Meli did a very good job, but I do not think she really had any idea what was going on.


 Liz was sweet enough to go to Sunday service with the kids and I. We let Will stay home and recover from his 20k race. The kids enjoyed the Easter egg hunt after service. Colin was so sweet and stayed in Meli's age group to help her out. By the time he got to his hunt they were all done, but some very nice kids gave him a few eggs to put in his basket. Love my sweet boy

 

 

Grandma's turn

I have always enjoyed Easter. The traditions of the Easter bunny, egg hunting and baskets full of candy are so exciting for kids...but I honestly love the religious aspect of the holiday. I love the Easter/spring story of hope and renewal. Such an inspiring story of the Bible.  Very uplifting. Even as a girl, who hated dresses, I looked forward to dressing up for Easter. One of the few "girlie" rules I had to follow as a kid, was that I had to wear a dress to church. For some reason, I was OK with that. I would fight it any other time, but not on Sundays. My mom usually made my dress for Easter (I was very lucky to have a mom who could sew very well)...I cannot wait until we start to make dresses for Meli. I still love the getting all dressed up for this holiday. I am so glad that Meli loves dresses...

Her dress was so pretty

 It was so hard to get a picture of Meli. All she wanted to do was twirl in her dress and run. I still managed to get some super cute ones of her.
