We dyed Easter Eggs the Saturday before Easter.
It was pleasantly peaceful.
I just sat back, took pics, watched, and even decorated a few myself.

No messes, no spills, no fighting, no crying, just fun family time!
(Gosh, our kids are getting big!)
Kris and Laurence joined us again this year and we decorated about 36 eggs in no time at all.
The kids had a blast and got really creative with the eggs this year.
Carter even remembered to make an egg for Uncle Aaron which prompted the
other kids to make eggs for Misty, Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma June (Our cute grandma neighbor).
We did miss Hallie this year as it was her mom's year for Easter.
The boys insisted on leaving Carrots for the Easter Bunny.
Easter Morning Nadya woke up at 4:30!!!!!! Little Stink. Apparently she woke Alex up, they searched for about 30 minutes for their baskets, gave up and went back to sleep until 7:30ish. (She was told she couldn't get up any earlier than 7:30) Carter on the other hand, was the good child who we had to wake up at 9:00. Why, oh why can't they all sleep like him???
The Easter Bunny always hides the kids' Easter Baskets and leaves an Easter outfit on the couch. This year, he also left new swim bags for Summer and their outfits were stashed inside. It was kind of funny that their bags all matched their pajamas. Nadya's bag also matched her Easter outfit and her Jammie's. I am excited for the kids to carry their own crud swim gear to the pool this year! Woot, woot!!!!!!!
The kids all had a difficult time finding their baskets this year. Alex found his first which was hanging by a hanger behind the blinds. Nadya searched and searched unsuccessfully for a good hour. It was Alex who finally found it for her and Carter found his basket after I gave him a few clues. I guess we will have to tell EB to pick easier spots next year. After the basket hunt, the kids didn't waste anytime consuming the goodies inside. They instantly dumped everything out, took inventory and had a nutritious breakfast complete with chocolate and cadburry eggs. Lovely. It is only once a year, right?
Afterwards we headed outside for the Easter Egg Hunt!
Our backyard is great for all sorts of fun hiding spots!
We found most of our eggs and headed off to Church.
After we came back and took a few Easter Pictures.
The boys were being silly and insisted on having their Peeps in the pictures.
I told the boys to put their arms around each other and show me how much they love each other.
They had fun with it and even pretended to kiss! Silly Boys!!!
Nadya took a few pictures of me with the boys.

Peeps On A Stick Anyone????
Kris and Laurence dropped by briefly and we discovered that EB
(Yes, we did just see Hop) left Laurence the same outfit.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity for a photo!
Kris asked if I would take a few pics of Laurence.......
She wanted to document his new smile phase.

It's sort of a half crooked smirk!
Later on Grandma Tammy, Aunt Misty and Uncle Aaron came over for Ham and Potato Salad.
After dinner we played outside for a while. The kids had a blast!
Hallie's Easter basket stayed hidden until Monday after school.
