Easter

The day before we prepped.  That included the girls making the bunny cake and a little fooling around.

We dyed eggs with food coloring.  The girls wrote on some of them with crayon before placing them in the dye.

This project actually began a couple of weeks before Easter.  I also grew winter wheat. That is very easy to grow, but it was already not looking its best by Easter.  If I grow some of that next year I will start it on Palm Sunday.

My father-in-law surprised us with this lovely plant delivery.

On Sunday morning we snapped a few pictures before church.

Since the youngest was singing at the 8:00 service we were there early. The church looked so beautiful.

The baskets which are followed by an indoor egg hunt (yes, still.)  There are plastic eggs with candy to be found. I thought maybe this was a little crazy given the girls ages, but we found out other people with older kids do it too.  I guess the thrill of the hunt never dies.

After the world's best Easter breakfast of empty tomb rolls, the dyed eggs, strawberries with marshmallow cream cheese dip, and juice, we headed back to the arboretum so that everyone could see the orchids.

The rest of the day was spent relaxing and eating.  I love the holidays!
