Easter 2011

A little late, but here are some pictures from Easter this year.

Dying eggs with Aunt DeeDee.
Nat was out of town the week leading up to Easter, so we dyed eggs at my parents’ house one day.DSCF6700

The Easter Bunny visited our house on Saturday morning and Adam had fun finding his basket and the eggs hidden around.

Adam’s basket included a Boggle Jr. game, a book with a collection of old “Little Golden Books” stories, a little tiddlywinks frog jumping game, and of course, candy.DSCF6714

Abby’s basket had a book, a Hide & Squeak Eggs toy, bracelets, and candy.DSCF6718

Growing up, we always rolled our eggs down the driveway to crack the shells before eating them for breakfast.  No need for that this year.  Abby started banging eggs together and was quite intrigued when they smooshed and broke apart!DSCF6725DSCF6723

 

 

 


Saturday night we read a book about the Easter story and made Resurrection Rolls.  You place a butter/cinnamon sugar coated marshmallow in the middle of a crescent roll to represent the body of Christ in the tomb.  After they bake, you open up the roll and marvel that the marshmallow is gone, just like Christ’s body on Easter Sunday.  After that, Adam kept talking about how Jesus was like the marshmallow and how he disappeared from the tomb.  I wish I took some pictures!

I thought this was cute of Abby….Adam is making a weird face in the full picture, but it’s cute that he’s holding her hand!DSCF6731

Happy Easter!
