Easter Weekend

We started off the Easter Weekend with our tradition of coloring Easter eggs. This was the 2nd year for this activity and the boys thoroughly enjoy it. Connor loves hard-boiled eggs, so having them colored is an extra treat. Brady has been working on a new "work" at school where he has learned to peel and slice hard-boiled eggs.

The next morning, we had a nice little Easter surprise - bunnies! My brother-in-law had moved them from the yard into an orange bucket to protect them from the lawnmower. The next day, we went out there to check on them. After some research and phone calls, we determined that they were old enough to fend for themselves and the best thing to do was return them to the nest. By the next day, they had all fled the nest and were out on their own.

Saturday evening, we went to Mimi and Papa's for an early Easter dinner and the traditional Easter egg hunt in Papa's garage. The boys were so cute the way they would help each other out and try to make things even. Afterwards, the boys played outside and in the garage with Mimi and Papa while the other adults all relaxed. A shocking outcome - the boys got DIRTY playing in the garage. Usually, Papa's garage is cleaner than a chef's kitchen, but not this time!

On Easter day, we headed to my parent's house for the Easter egg hunt with the cousins and lunch. There were over 100 eggs hidden and I can't tell you how many times we counted each basket to see how many were still hidden! The boys were a little bit more competitive for this Easter egg hunt compared to the day before. After lunch, the adults all played cards while the kids played outside most of the afternoon. It was a very nice end to the Easter weekend!
