Happy Easter (Part 2)

The day before Easter we introduced Zack to the tradition of dying eggs. He really enjoyed it and didn't want to take the eggs out of the dye, (or his hands :-)).




Sunday morning the Easter bunny came and hid our baskets and the dyed eggs so we were off on a hunt.



He got jigsaw puzzles (which he has mastered easily now),

a t-shirt combining two favorites of his, dinosaurs and guitars, the Memory game and a couple of smaller things.

Kiley got mostly clothes, a pair of shoes, sippy cups and some sunglasses which she was really excited about.
Grandma D and Grandpa Al also sent some Easter "bonnets" for the kids that they opened Easter morning. They were perfect. Zack is ready for Nisswa's turtle races!


Next it was time to get dressed up in their Sunday best for church.
Then afterwards we spent an entertaining evening at my parents. Things started out just fine, an egg hunt for the kids,
Gifts from Grandma Trish and Grandpa Tom in which Zack got a new weed whacker to help Daddy out even more after they mow the lawn, (he's still lovin' the mower!).
Great-Grandpa Cooley got to see Kiley again after 4 months of on again off again MRSA bouts, (which last week was on AGAIN!).
It was a nice day so the kids spent some time out on the deck playing.
and then the real "entertaining" portion of the evening began. The kids began to get a little tired at dinner. First Riley started crying, then Zack and then Adee thought she needed to chime in. So at one point the three eldest were all crying their eyes out as we're seated for dinner. The adults could only laugh. Ah, life with children. :-)
All in all it was a great night and we had a very fun Easter. Hope all of you enjoyed it as well!
