Easter 2016

We had a wonderful time celebrating Easter this year. We even colored Easter Eggs...

 

...the only thing is, we dyed the wrong eggs!  I had boiled eggs earlier in the morning.  When it was time to dye the eggs, the kids pulled the wrong eggs out of the fridge.  I didn't notice until all the raw eggs were dyed and we were all cleaned up!

Grandma and Grandpa Haacke hosted an egg hunt this year while the cousins were in town for their Spring Break.  They each had to find 12 eggs with their name on it.  Some of the boys had a harder time than other. 

It took McKay a while to find all of his eggs.  In fact, he was the last one done.  Uncle Paul had been particularly tricky hiding one of McKay's eggs in the rain gutter.
 

Jaxon had better luck finding his eggs.  He even gave me a big thumbs up!

Josh checking to see if the found egg belonged to him.  (For some reason his arm was hurting this day so he thought it was necessary to wear the sling from the dress up box.)

On Easter Sunday the Easter Bunny did a few things differently at our house.  Some of the household members are trying to stay away from candy, so the Easter Bunny hid Easter Baskets full of fun favorite things of each of the boys.

The boys liked the new tradition of hidden Easter baskets and put in a request for the Easter Bunny to continue on this tradition in years to come.
