Easter 2011

This weekend the Hardy family was all about celebrating Easter. On Saturday morning, Collin and I made some Easter cookies together. Collin absolutely loved them! As soon as they came out of the oven he thought he needed to sample one of each design. I think he had about four before it was all over with! That night, Mommy and Daddy got really brave and decided to let Collin dye Easter eggs. We put out six cups of dye and let him decide how he wanted to design each egg. He took each one and literally threw it in all six cups of dye until they were all a shade of green or purplish-brown. I am shocked the eggs remained in one piece since he was throwing them like they were baseballs. His fingers will probably be green for days to come but he really loved it!

On Sunday morning the boys awoke to find lots of goodies for them from the Easter Bunny. As soon as Collin walked in the playroom he looked at the baskets and proclaimed, "the Easter Bunny came!" He looked through his basket to find two Thomas Aquarium trains, a Color Wonder "Toy Story" coloring kit, a Noah's Ark toy with tons of animals, and some candy. Parker also got some goodies including two new Blabla rattles, Inchbug bottle bands with his name on them, and some formula since Collin tells everyone all Parker likes is bottles. After we played for a while, we ventured out to the yard for an egg hunt. Collin ran around the yard grabbing eggs while Parker hung out with Mommy in the Baby Bjorn. All in all it was a great Easter weekend spent with the boys celebrating the holiday.
