If we happen to have another girl (this week!!! Finally!) I just don't know how she could be any cuter than Clara!!!
A Thomas Family Easter dinner tradition is a little jello dish lovingly called "Bunnies in the Grass" Hence, the bunnies...in the grass!!! Thanks Grandma Susan for the fun recipe! I did tell Evan to take the picture of the bunnies in the grass, not of me with a small amount of bunnies in the background. Oh well!
Saturday night the kids dyed their eggs and had a great time. After they figured out they could dunk and redunk into different bowls to create different colors, they spent over an hour recoloring all of the eggs they had already colored! Some turned out mud brown, but boy they had fun!
And finally the EASTER EGG HUNT!!! I spent an hour filling a ton of plastic easter eggs with candy and coins and after dinner I sent Evan out to hide them all. He came back pretty fast and as we were getting ready to corral the kids out the door, I noticed two empty egg cartons by the door. Then I got it...Evan had hidden the colored eggs from the fridge for the kids to find!!!
I laughed and laughed and he just looked at me until I called him on it! He just assumed we were looking for Easter eggs and didn't realize I had a bag of candy filled eggs ready to hide! I kept laughing as he took the REAL Easter eggs out and hid them, and then I laughed some more as the kids would pick up an egg, shake it to make sure it was plastic and had candy and coins in it, and promptly throw it back on the ground if was hard boiled! What a fun hunt!
Of course the kids compare their candy stash and coin count and we all got another laugh when Henry ended up with almost twice the amount of money as the other three. He was the main one who shook the eggs to see if they rattled. Guess it paid off! Anyway, we had a great Easter. It's always fun to watch the kids...that's the best part!
