04.24.11 ~ Happy Easter ...


The night before Easter was busy as can be ...

Dying eggs at Grandma's house with lots of cousins, and decorating Easter sugar cookies ...

I was smart and came up with the idea to have Connor "dye" his eggs in water. It worked out wonderfully ...


"I'm so proud of my egg!" ...

Aubrie and I came up with some cool-lookin' eggs ... at least I didn't dye my fingers in the process ...

************

Then came Easter Sunday morning, and the Easter Bunny came with lots of candy to share with everyone. Connor started to get the idea of collecting the candy and putting it in the bowl instead of his mouth ...

Sometimes he liked to hoard a little bit ... always had to have a couple of pieces in his hands ...

Grandpa Colton was helpful in trying to get Connor and his cousin, Bridger, to collect the candy that the Easter Bunny brought ...


Towards the end, Connor got so good at getting the candy that he started to even find the ones that were a little bit tougher to find ... sometimes that Easter Bunny can hide them in tricky places! ...

Connor with Mom's old Easter basket ... made out of a milk carton ... he was a little scared of them at first, but then became close friends with all the baskets ...

Candy, candy, candy ... and now that it's collected, it's time to organize and divide it up for all to eat! In our family, we always have to be "even-steven" ...

Happy Easter! ... I'm already excited for next year when Connor will be a little bit older and it probably won't be "pulling teeth" the whole time to get him to collect the candy and put it in the bowl ...
