Happy Easter :)

Happy Easter!

We had such a great holiday with family and friends :) Our holiday began on Thursday when we dyed eggs as a family. Ryan and I had some difference in opinions when it came to how to do this. He wanted to hard boil them and dye them. But then they had to stay in the fridge and what fun is dying eggs if nobody can see them because they are in the fridge? So I decided to blow the yolks out that way we could keep them out. Well, good idea in theory. Since they float when put in the dye I had the idea to use a wisk and put the egg in there and then put it in the dye. We also had to use bigger cups.

So this worked well, until it came time to take them out of the dye. We then had to try to drain all the water out of the eggs. It actually took a while for this to work! And since I only have 2 wisks the whole thing was a little too much for Leah who lost interest and ran to play. Oh well:) The eggs looked pretty good in the end

And since we waited so long to dye them we ended up not doing anything with them. Next year we will hard boil them just to make life a little easier:)

Then on Friday we had plans to go to Grandpa Bahler's in Monroe so we did Leah Easter basket before we left.

This year, Leah got a Hello Kitty coloring book, a Sesame Street coloring book,  The Story of Easter book, a chocolate bunny, a little bubble machine that blows the bubbles for her, a water bottle with her name on it and some little bracelettes from the Target dollar sections. The bubble machine was her favorite but she had the best reaction to the bracelettes

Then we went to Monroe and Leah got to play at the park with Grandpa, drive the lawn mower, "drive" Grandpa's truck and van, push the carts around the warehouse and drive a forklift at Uncle Brian's work. And this was all on Saturday! On Easter Sunday we all went to church and Leah loved showing off her pretty dress

She did a great job in church where she drew a pitcure for Uncle Bruce and and for Adrienne. She really was a good girl! After church we went over to Uncle Doug's for lunch. Leah loved taking all her friends into Doug's office to play with all of Evans toys. We even went to the basement to try out Ev's drum set and tent

Leah and Doug sort of had their own band going on

We also had 2nd Easter with my Mom's side of the family. We went to my Grandma and Grandpa's house along with my cousins and Brian and Jenn and Leah had an egg hunt and got another Easter basket. She is one lucky lady to have family that love her so much!
