Easter Egg Fun

In preparation for Easter, we dyed eggs this afternoon. The kids had a lot of fun and Aiden was very excited to make a "blue egg". :) Ray is taking the older 2 camping for the next couple of nights, then we have an Easter egg hunt at our church Saturday afternoon, followed by an early Easter service that evening. A few pics from today:

Easter 2011 Recap

We had a very nice Easter weekend! Saturday morning, we took the kids over to Emmy's school for an Easter egg hunt. After, we decorated eggs, then went to a friend's birthday party. Sunday morning was the usual Easter morning - finding baskets and eggs, going to church, Easter dinner at our house with my parents and sister. Ray's sister, Stevie, sent the kids a new game for the Wii - called Chicken Riot - which all of us, including my parents - spent hours playing. Everything was great, with the exception of my scalloped corn, which did not turn out due to Saltine crackers that expired in August 2009. :)

A few photos, of course ~

Easter Weekend, Part 1

We had a wonderful Easter weekend! And very busy - decorating eggs, an Easter Egg Hunt, church, dinner with family, and of course the Easter Bunny came to our house!



Decorating eggs - Pooky had a lot of fun this year. He kept sticking his hands into the dye cups to retrieve the eggs - resulting in some very colorful hands!

Eating lunch after the "hunt" - hot dogs, chips, and candy!





My cute Easter bunny cake I made - I love how it turned out!

Easter Recap

We had a great Easter weekend, and I hope that everyone else did as well! Quick recap ~

Friday night we dyed eggs. Emmy did not like it when I told her we were going to "dye" eggs, she thought I was talking about the eggs "dying" which I don't really think she understands either, but she didn't think that it sounded fun. So, we decorated eggs instead. Whatever.

We went to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday that our church puts on - both Emmy and Pook gathered a whole basket of eggs (Pooky loved it, which surprised me). Afterwards, my mom, sister, Emmy, and I went shopping, had a good time.

Sunday morning, of course, the Easter Bunny came and hid Easter baskets of goodies and the eggs. Emmy found everything, helped Pooky find his basket, they both loved their new stuff. After church, we went to my parents house for dinner. Ray got to watch lots of basketball. Fun weekend. A few pictures:




Ohhhhh, pretty!

This book was in Pooky's basket. I found it a while back at Target, and I HAD to buy it for Pook. It is a cute book.

Happy Easter!

From my family to yours - I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter!

A Photo for Lauren Contest

Kim at Cancio is holding a photo contest. The winning photo will be decided by her 4 year old daughter, which I think is hilarious. So, here is my entry - my very silly little girl, Emmy, sporting her new bunny ears for Easter.

Yummy....

This is what Pook thinks of Beef and Beef Broth baby food.
I am just guessing that he would not recommend it to anyone.

Easter

We had a great Easter weekend! Emmy went to 2 egg hunts, we dyed eggs, the Easter bunny visited our house, we went to church, and had a big Easter dinner at our house with my parents. Emmy and Luke both got Easter baskets with presents, and Emmy got a ton of candy. My mom also got her a couple of Easter presents, so she has been spoiled rotten. Emmy had a blast at the "hunt". She kept saying that she was going "hunting" like Daddy!
A few pictures....

Then she really got into it

Happy Easter!

Ray, Emmy, and I had a great Easter weekend! We took Emmy to our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt and Emmy got to see the Easter Bunny. We decorated eggs at home, and the Easter Bunny made a visit to our house last night and left Emmy a basket with crayons, a puzzle, a paint book, a purse, and candy. We also went to our church this morning for an inspiring Easter service. So, we were all very busy and had a lot of fun.
Ray has more Easter pictures on his blog - www.koernerville.blogspot.com
I would do more but it is taking forever!

On a side note, we have nicknamed new baby "Blob", since that is what he/she looked like at the ultrasound a couple of weeks ago. I am feeling incredibly nauseaus all day every day, just like last time, which is not fun, but hopefully it is a sign of a healthy, normal pregnancy. We are still very nervous, but hopefully I will feel a little more assured after my 12 week appointment in a couple of weeks.
