Eggs and chocolate

Well, Easter has come, and now gone. Since I try to be a good mom or something, we have pictures to post.

First up, our maiden voyage in egg dying!

We used crayons and dye (duh), and didn't make too much of a mess, so... success!

Plus, look how proud Crag is of himself!

Not pictured: all the little cracks Calista made in her egg shell while dying it. That's what we get for letting her do as much as possible, ha.

Cheesy Kyler, the action figure.


Calista was the first one up Easter morning, so she got to see the baskets first.

She was excited, and didn't even have a tantrum when I said no chocolate until after breakfast.

Maybe because she had bubbles to console her.

Once Craig finally woke up (okay, Kyler woke him up), we went on the egg hunt. Since there was a (tiny) bit of snow outside, we did it all inside.

The egg is purple!

Craig needed a bit of help finding eggs, but he thought it was pretty fun. Actually, we all did. This was the first time we've done an egg hunt/Easter morning that no one ended up in tears (usually because we don't let them have all the chocolate right now!), so success!


And, of course, we have pictures of the kiddos in their Easter Sunday clothes.

Craig didn't particularly want to sit still and take pictures...

And he absolutely hated his tie. It didn't last much past the photo shoot.

Calista was cooperative, though. Probably because she was so excited about her purple dress (she picked it out), purple sandals, purple headband, and purple finger and toenails. In case you haven't noticed, her favorite color is purple.
