Although Jayden had been bugging Tara to dye Easter eggs
for several days, we finally found the time to do so after her soccer game on
the day before Easter. For the most part it went pretty smoothly, with only a
few disagreements about waiting for a certain dye color creeping up from time to
time. The kids enjoyed themselves, even though I bet they wish that they had
more eggs for each of them to decorate... I can only eat so any hard boiled eggs
though!

Even though the kids woke up early today in anticipation
of seeing what was left behind in their Easter baskets, they were kind enough to
let Tara & I sleep in for a while. When we did get up, the kids scoured through
their baskets while Tara & I made breakfast. From their it was a day of enjoying
too much candy and checking out their gifts.
Easter Morning

|
The kids Easter baskets arranged on the table.
|
|
Drew's basket contained a couple of Lego sets.
|
|
Jayden got a Disney castle made of Legos in her basket.
|
|
Samantha also got Legos, a "Friends" set to go along with some
she got at Christmas.
|
|
Tyler got two gift cards this year - one for Amazon and one for
a shoe store so that he can continue to grow his budding shoe
business empire!
