Easter 2012

On the Saturday before Easter, we finally got around to dying Easter eggs!  The kids had fun dying them, and then they wanted to draw faces and hair on them with a permanent marker.  Kylie got reeeally attached to hers, especially "Megan."  She actually played with her little egg-people for quite a while, and then suddenly decided she wanted to eat one.  She chose Megan, and had Trevor help peel it, and then she tried a bite.  She didn't like it. (no surprise there).  A few minutes later it was as if she'd just realized what she'd done.  She cried over the death of Megan for about 20 minutes.  She even cried out, "Meeeeegaaaan!!!!!" a few times.  I admit, I had to go around the corner and let out a few silent little chuckles, even though I did feel a little bad for her and her loss.  Anyway...the eggs:



Saturday evening we celebrated Easter with Grandma & Grandpa Telford, Grammy & Grandpa Garcia, Uncle Rick, and Aunt Aileen & her new fiance, and the kids enjoyed their Easter egg hunt there!



****************************
Sunday morning the kids woke up and found their Easter baskets
that the Easter bunny had hidden in the house.  They were pleased to find lots of candy, chocolate & a new game in each of their baskets.  Then after breakfast, they hunted for eggs in our backyard.  There aren't many clever places to hide eggs in our backyard, but the kids always have fun running around and putting them in their baskets anyway.




Here are my cute kids, all dressed up and ready for church.  I am not very good at getting the kids holiday dresses/clothes.  Luckily, I have a mother-in-law who makes the girls adorable Easter dresses!

Alyssa - 9 years old


Trevor - 7 1/2 years old


Kylie - 4 1/2 years old


Happy Easter everyone!!!

So sorry to hear about the death of Kylie's friend, Megan. But I have to admit, I was "cracking up" (catch the pun? Apparently Lisa didn't.)
