Easter

I love Easter! To me it is a celebration of new beginnings, growth and joy! Christmas is a day to celebrate Christ's birth, this is a day to celebrate his life! So celebrate we did!

Erin and I dyed some eggs. We used dry onion skins, as is traditional for back home (google it if you are curious about how it is done). Funny thing about Easter eggs is that most of them get thrown away. There are only that many eggs that a person can eat (especially if that person gets no help from her little monkeys and the other responsible adult of the household). Before Erin and Danny went to bed they left some carrots for the Easter Bunny and their baskets for him to fill.

Bunny is not that generous in this house as Easter is not about his gifts. Our fuzzy guest left each kid a coloring book, a bath toy and a chocolate bunny. He also scattered a bunch of eggs filled with chocolates around the house and a few in the back yard. The baskets got emptied as soon as Erin got up, but the egg hunt had to wait till we came back from church. As an egg hunt veteran, Erin roamed the house on her own and Danny got some help from Papa. However, he caught on pretty fast on what to do and pull a few eggs from some surprising places.

Danny was not willing to stay still for a shot, so this is the best I've got.

Here Danny escaped, so as Erin would put it this is a girl's team. 

To wrap the day up we had a lovely dinner, that the kids decided not to eat, but Andrew and I quite enjoyed! All in all, this was a lovely Easter Sunday!

Happy Easter!

Ta ta for now!
