Easter 2011

This year Easter happened to fall on the same weekend as our 6th anniversary.  We had lined up a babysitter for mid-day and were going to go out to eat by ourselves and then come home and dye eggs with the kids.  Unfortunately, Finn and I were pretty sick and I knew I wasn't going to enjoy lunch.  So we cancelled the sitter and stayed home with the kids.

After Finn's nap we began the egg-dying process. It's so funny to me how dying only a dozen eggs can take hours! But in the end, Kai had some pretty awesome eggs.

Waiting....there's always some waiting involved.

More waiting.

Sometimes waiting can get tough.

This is how Finn says a prayer.  It's SO cute!  All you have to say is "Prayer, Finn" and he'll strike a pose.

Eater morning was exciting for the kids.  Kai was very good at finding the eggs and so he made sure to only find the pink, purple, and blue eggs.  He kindly left the green, yellow, and orange eggs for Finn.  Finn was really good at getting excited when he found an egg and then picking it up and shaking it real hard to make sure that the jellybeans were there.  (Kai had given him a jellybean at the top of the stairs from one of the eggs there, and so Finn figured it out quickly.)  It didn't take long for all of the eggs to be found and then they hunted for their basket.  It took a hint from daddy, but they found them.  The Easter Bunny brought a good mix of candy and toys this year and the kids seemed quite happy with their loot.  After we were all done Kai asked to watch an Easter show.  So, we found two Easter VeggieTales on Netflix and had the kids watch those.  Since we were all still feeling sick, we stayed home from church and just enjoyed a lazy Sunday.  For dinner we had a pot roast and yummy veggies.  It really was a good day.  (I'm sorry we have no egg hunt pictures as Reid took video the whole time instead.)
