Happy Easter

I hope everyone had a good Easter. The kids were so excited it was like Christmas for them.



On Friday we decorated eggs, old school, with no kit. We used crayons and food coloring. Cute and free. Spencer enjoyed petting the eggs delicately in my presence and then cracking them when i wasn't around. This was post-cracking for most of them.

The kids dutifully lined up on the stairs before they could see what the Easter Bunny bought. It is like Christmas, minus the cute new p.j.'s and all the presents. On the plus side there was an easter egg hunt, or two, and plenty of chocolate. And this year... bubbles for all!



Look at these adorable outfits. Thanks MOM! Alexis actually helped me pick out the girl's dresses. I was shocked when she actually chose pink for herself. So girlie, it was a rare and wonderful moment.
For dinner we had the Johnsons over. They are our Chicago family. We love that we didn't organize anything until Sunday morning and it all came together beautifully. We had lots of yummy food including Meg's vegan dishes. They were delicious, especially with grilled chicken! Hmmm i guess Dan and i aren't quite ready to go vegan yet but it was good to eat healthy (minus the cake and rice crispy treats i personally stuffed my face with). We let the kids have grape juice in goblets and they kept toasting eachother. I kept hearing "cheers" from the breakfast table followed by clinking goblets. After dinner the kids had another easter egg hunt. Spencer loved it and wanted "Mr. Bunny" to bring him more eggs (especially since Megs and Zeke fill their with spare change and candy).
