Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year, going to church and visiting with all of our family!  We started celebrating Saturday evening with some Easter Egg coloring.  I was very surprised when Timmy came home from preschool with an egg he had dyed, last year we had just given him a crayon to color on an egg with.  But Mom braved her kitchen floor and we let Timmy dye his own eggs this year. 

He started out very patiently, dying one egg at a time, and singing us songs between checking on his eggs in the dye.  We went through the ABC's first and then I think 8-9 times through BaBa Black Sheep.  He wasn't interested in singing any other songs, and when he lost interest in that one, he started playing more with the egg in the dye.

He did a really good job of getting the eggs in and out of the colors, he only dropped one getting it out of the cup.  He did knock over the entire cup of blue dye trying to get a different egg out though!  But he sure had fun!

By the end he had green fingers and a blue leg!

On Easter Morning we had time to go through our baskets before heading off to church.  The Easter Bunny was very good to all of us, but he made 4 stops for Timmy!  The haul of candy in our kitchen looks more like Halloween then Easter!  Timmy received two Chuggington Trains from The Easter Bunny and he was ecstatic!  He did ask where the other main character was, and since he is entering the "Why?" phase, he also asked "Hmmm, why the Easter Bunny leave these trains?" As well as asking about everything else in his basket.

After a breakfast of Jelly Beans we headed off to church.  Mom, Dad, Joe, Elena, Al, Becky, Chris, Jenny, and Brayden all attended the same service with us!  We were told that Brayden and Timmy played very nicely in the nursery together, and the music at Service was really fantastic.  After church we stopped by my parents house to get Easter Baskets there and to see them open presents, it was their FORTIETH Anniversary!  We then went to P.F. Chang's for lunch, as has been our family tradition for probably the last 5 years or so.

After lunch we visited at Tim's Dad's for a while and enjoyed the beautiful weather and their beautiful yard.  Timmy ran around playing baseball and with sidewalk chalk and chasing the dogs.  He was in heaven! Finally we went to Tim's Mom's for dinner and more visiting.  Brayden and Timmy even posed for a quick photo-op for us.
