Eggs and Hunting

 
We had a lot of fun dying eggs, as we do every year. But thanks to Pinterest we tried some new things with glue dots and glitter—made tons of colorful polka dots— and then used the classic rubber-band, tape and double dipping tricks to create pretty patterns (we learned that little girls small elastics worked really well). This is an Easter tradition I have loved ever since I can remember and will still love when I'm 80!
dyed eggs are always so pretty
 
Luke's first Easter—you can tell he was way into those eggs while snoozing away in the Bjorn :)
 a fun hairdo for Caroline (also a Pinterest find...of course:)

 Our new(ish) tradition of finding treasures from the Easter Bunny and hunting for eggs on Saturday instead of Sunday. Leaves our Easter Sunday more spiritually focused and about the Savior instead of a bunny and candy. I have been loving making this change the past 3 years
 We had to wake our Caroline up so the kids could get out and find eggs already. This happens with her every year! That girl can certainly sleep like a rock. Love that about her!
 
 That tricky bunny hid all 60 of the hard-boiled eggs we made as well as about 100 plastic eggs filled with candy. All the kids' baskets were filled to the brim after the hunt. I held Livs' for her because it got so heavy! Quite the successful egg hunt!
