Got one colored... let him help dip it and remove it. Then.... this...
Which led to this...
And then this... (so at least it wasn't a total loss)
And the smile makes it all worthwhile...
Paige and Blake shared in the fun....
Oh, just ignore the scythe on the floor in the background of that picture...
We baked traditional Easter Egg Bread... but didn't have time to manhandle it into a lovely braided wreath.
Our annual tradition - a Bunny Cake. I made several of these in my youth and have made one with the kids each year for several years now.
We headed over to Kim's where Paige enjoyed some obese-guinea-pig bonding time.
We had a wonderful dinner (yum!) and then the 'guys' headed to the school playground to hide 14 dozen eggs for the kids to hunt! Yikes! We had 6 kids hunting, though, so that's just over 2 dozen per kiddo. Paige and Blake waiting patiently...
To make it 'fair' (doesn't it HAVE to be with kids?) we were lucky enough to find bulk packages of eggs with SIX different colors. So we just assigned each kid their own color to find. That way, I could also make sure Dean's eggs had fruit snacks instead of all the candy in them ;-)
Blake (below) - has this boy forgotten how to smile? Is this typical 7-year-old boy behavior? I do not have a single picture of him where he's just looking normal... smiling at the camera.
Hunting...
And once all the eggs were found... some playing as well...
Oh please ignore the snot running and the black... um... I don't know... smudge on the nose. He was playing and having fun and that's all that counts, right?
