Easter

WARNING: There are LOTS of pictures in this slideshow :)
On Saturday afternoon, Joey and I dyed our eggs. It takes a lot of patience on both of our parts as he doesn't want to wait for the eggs to sit in the dye and I am continuously trying to keep him from breaking eggs on the counter and his hands out of the buckets. I tried to get Jack involved, but as you can imagine, it was a little difficult to do. After the eggs, we made cupcakes. The best invention ever, for baking with a toddler, is the frosting in a can that just squirts on. Not the colored stuff for decorating, but the actual cream cheese frosting. It made decorating SO much easier! We dyed some coconut for our the grass and used Starburst Jelly Eggs for the easter eggs in the grass. I think Joey was putting one in his mouth and then one on a cupcake! They turned out so cute!
On Sunday, Joey was so excited to see what the Easter Bunny had left and what Ganny had sent from Texas. And as soon as we ate breakfast, it was outside for our hunt. Since he had gotten practice from the day before, Joey was an absolute pro and finished in record time. In the meantime, Jack would pick up one egg and bring it to me to open and then go get another.  When we were finished, the family stayed outside to enjoy the beautiful day and play with some of the goodies from their baskets: bubble wands, pool toys, sidewalk chalk, etc.  Joe decided to climb up in the tree in our front yard and the boys took turns sitting up there with him. There are some great pictures of them in the tree together. But, I think my favorite is at the end, the one of Joey and Jack in their tie-dyed t-shirts, riding bikes!
