Easter 2012

The boys had a fabulous, fun filled Easter weekend. Early Saturday morning the boys began the festivities by dyeing Easter eggs. Collin did all of the work while Parker watched from his high chair. Collin loved making "rainbow eggs" or eggs that had been dipped in every color dye we had out. We then let the eggs dry and then had an Easter egg hunt. Collin loved running though the yard hunting eggs. Every time he picked up an egg, he would shake it to make sure there was something inside it. Once all the eggs were collected, he opened them up to find a new Matchbox SUV and several quarters he could use to buy ice cream from the ice cream man. We attempted to have Parker hunt some eggs, but he was not a fan of the wet grass and wanted to be held. On Easter morning the boys awoke to find their baskets full of treats from the Easter Bunny. Collin got a coloring book, new crayons, a new Bible, candy and his prized Nissan Xterra Matchbox he had been begging to get for weeks. That Easter Bunny sure is smart! Parker got a big blue ball, a shape sorter, and a Backyardigans DVD. Both boys were beyond thrilled with what they received. Afterwards we attended church then headed to Uncle Jon and Aunt Lotis' house for another egg hunt. Uncle Jon and Aunt Lotis had over 100 eggs hidden with yummy candy in each one. Collin loved having a partner, Lotis' niece, to hunt eggs with. We then enjoyed dinner together and headed home. All in all the boys had a great, fun-filled weekend!
