Pre Easter Festivities - March 22

It's the Saturday before Easter! We had fun getting ready for the big day. We finished out grocery shopping and attended the neighborhood Easter hunt. Best of all Wendi and Marilee arrived for the weekend!

The neighborhood egg hunt was a flop for us. We showed up just in time to hear the kids go running and screaming for the eggs however, we were still too late to get any eggs. Taylor was disappointed, Owen didn't know the difference. We looked around for the Eater Bunny and the face painting but those hadn't started yet so we went on home for some fun of our own.




Taylor decided to practice egg hunt with Owen to prep for the big day. They had a load of fun hiding and hunting over and over again.


Awesome action shot!

Owen and Taylor kept ending an egg short. :) Guess who else knows how to hunt. :)
Marilee was a natural, no instruction needed.

Right around bed time we got around to coloring and decorating the eggs.

These are Wendi's specialty confetti eggs in the making. She spend a few months carefully cracking cleaning these eggs for Easter.



Tay's glittery fingers




Mya needed no help decorating.

Mya did this one all on her own, impressive!

And here is Tay with the special egg for Aunt Christi who will be joining us on Easter day!
Nice kool-aid stash. :)

While we were making the eggs the kids kept bring up how excited they were that Christi was coming into town. What kept cracking me up is how each of them have a special nick name for her. Over the last 7 years Christi has been Aunt Sissy, Kiki, Kissty and Crusty. Mya kept saying "my Crusty eggs" ie she wanted to make an egg for Christi. :) I love it!!!
