Easter Saturday


I'm back with more Easter pictures!  These are from Saturday.

We started out the morning with an egg hunt in my parents neighborhood.  When we pulled up we saw the Easter Bunny!

Stephen was NOT interested in going near him, but after watching him give eggs to some other kids, he got brave.   The Easter bunny put a baseball egg on the ground for Stephen to come get.

With a little help from Papa he went and got it.

And even gave the Easter bunny a high five.

Getting this boy to look at me and smile is like pulling teeth!

Oh sure mom, I will look at Yaya and smile.

The best I could get.

Waiting for the egg hunt to start and I couldn't resist snapping a picture of these beautiful eyelashes.

Well of course I will look at Yaya and smile and show my eggs off!

Ok mom, get ready because this is the best your going to get.

There was a little park there, so Stephen played for a while.

It was all fun and games until the Easter bunny showed up.

That afternoon we spent more time outside.  It was to beautiful not to be outside.

We also dyed eggs.  It was Stephens first time to do this.

Our family does eggs a little different than most people.  Instead of dying hard boiled eggs, we blow out the insides of the eggs and then dye them.  That way we can display them instead of putting them back in the refrigerator.  But it makes the eggs very fragile.

We didn't make that clear to Stephen so the first two eggs got crushed.

The only bad part about doing this is that you have to hold the eggs down while you dye them.

These little circles were punched out from the box so we could put the finished eggs there to dry.  Stephen laid them all out and told us he was playing a game.

The finished eggs!

It was really fun, but Stephen lost interest and Papa ended up finishing most of the eggs.

That night Stephen and I went to dinner with Courtney and her fiancé Chris.  It was a really fun night!
