Easter

Patrick mentioned how, as a kid, he would make an Easter nest for the Easter bunny to leave things in. I thought this sounded neat so we made a nest out of grass and wildflowers. Timmy added some garden flowers before we could stop him. I thought it looked very pretty. Gathering clover and wild onion flowers

My mom made Lexa the most beautiful white dress with lace inserts. I truly LOVE that dress. It's so delicate. I'm sure it she spent hours making it. Unfortunately Lexa didn't wear it long because, with her crawling around, she could have torn it easily.

Mom made Timmy a little romper with really sweet embroidered turtles, butterflies and bees. The children looked precious.

I remember wearing handmade Easter dresses when we were kids. That was very special to me.The birthday party stuff was still up, so Timmy looked for eggs all around the Radiator Springs box town.

He even found a few giant eggs.

Stickers were inside the plastic eggs.

Timmy can't get enough of breaking confetti eggs. He burned through dozens of them in minutes.

Lexa thought confetti eggs were fun too. She also thought eggshells and confetti might make a nice snack.

Somehow, the dogs end up covered in confetti too every year.

Confetti Eggs

Timmy thought making a mess with confetti eggs was great fun.

Squeeze!

Yay! Confetti all over!

It's raining confetti.

Egg Hunt

Timmy had fun hunting for Easter eggs this year. Patrick and I just scattered them around in the grass and put some in chairs. We helped him a little bit too. So did Max Dog. Max was walking around smelling the hard boiled eggs and trying to get the juice treats out of the plastic ones. He watched while I was uploading this picture and said "No Max!"
I remember last year Baby Timmy just sat down and chewed on some eggs while the other kids searched for them.

A Picnic

We ate monkey bread and fruit outside while Timmy played with the toys in his Easter basket.

Easter Basket

Timmy loved the little bunny on a skateboard that Grandmom gave him in his Easter basket.

Dyeing Easter Eggs

Timmy helped to dye Easter eggs this year. He helped to drop the eggs into the cups of colored water (some of them cracked) and told us where to put them when we took them out. He seemed to be really interested and enjoying it.
