Easter 2009

We started Easter off this year with some egg dying - First time for Madi and not a lot of patience waiting for the color to adhere to the shell. However she still enjoyed the end result of the "glitter" eggs.


Here she is in her big girl undies waiting for the eggs to come out.


Having a snack while they dry.


Close up of the finished eggs.


We only had 11 eggs, we may have broken a few while trying to blow them out. Wasn't easy as Daddy figured out but we did have a contest and clearly Mommy is full of hot air compared to Daddy. Isn't that fitting??



Below - A big smile because Mommy added an egg. Which one doesn't belong?

Kids just love those Kinder eggs.

She is ready to pounce!


Easter - checking out their loot

Madi was more interested in the Egg Hunt


Found One!


I have to commend the older girls - they are so amazing to Madi, I can't believe how blessed we are. They spoil her and understand she is little and let her find all the easy ones, and even leaving them for her! They are great Big Sisters!!


Looks like the bunny hid some eggs in Madi's rubber boots!!! Clever bunny

That's quite a basket full!


We re-hid the eggs about 20 times over the course of the day, she enjoyed it so much.






Found some more!


Checking out her big loot of eggs





Can you tell she is Happy?

This year we attended the Easter Egg Hunt hosted by the Chamber of Commerce. It went fast but the kids loved it.

Jill helped with Madi because it stopped at the age of 10 and she is 11 now.

Here we are waiting for the whistle to blow for the kids. Daniella was on the other side of the park (the hillside) with Daddy - the older kids had to run up a hill to find the eggs. There's were actually hidden, the younger kids were just thrown all over the ground.

still waiting..........

I think they said there was over 100,000 eggs and they were gone in 10 minutes.

Picking Egg time


It was CRAZY but Fun!

Jill helping Madi fill her basket - and fill we did.


We even helped fill the basket on the right of some other kids!


we are still eating eggs in June!


Life is good when you have a mouth full of chocolate!

Can't go to the park without a swing ride!



Weeeeeeeeeee


Can you hear her?

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Easter dessert - strawberry cream pie - AWESOME!!
