In effort to once again try to get up to date on the blog (starting to think I'm never going to achieve that) this will be one big post of pre-Easter and Easter. On Evan's birthday (April 23rd), our Church had their Easter event for the kids. Unfortunately, Evan had to work, but I was able to talk Grandma Kim into coming along with me and helping the kids so they could still go and have fun and help me keep my sanity in the process! :)
Saturday night before bed we finally made time to dye eggs. Due to some miscommunication I did this with the 2 kids by myself. I'm sure if some one had this on video it would be quite hilarious. Kenna kept thinking she needed to crack the eggs which led to some quick action on my part several times....there were several eggs that we could not dye. Both kids had a blast and wanted to do it all by themselves.
Filling eggs with different symbols of the Easter story.
Ready for the Easter egg hunt....or should I call it the mad dash!

After a lot of contemplating I decided to buy the dye that you use a bag for as I thought that might make less mess....at least we couldn't have a spill of dye all over the place, right?!
After I got the kids cleaned up and Kenna to bed, Evan joined Denver and I as we finished dying the rest of the eggs.
Our finished product.
Easter morning the kids got Easter baskets. I wish I had the camcorder going, they both were so excited.
Denver got a baseball glove (for the "right" hand...for the left...we have a lefty or so it seems and of course we had bought him a right handed glove first) and ball and Kenna got her first fishing pole (Princess of course!)
We had lunch at Grama Verni and Papa Rodney's where we shared our Easter eggs that we dyed.
I peeled it all by myself Mom!
Yum!
Peeling another with Great Grandma Waltner.

My babies all dressed up!
Playing with bubble-foam (can't remember the name for it, but a "toy" that Kenna won at our Church Easter event that is like bubbles, but instead of bubbles makes foam).
