Easter Egged Out

Easter was a day full of festivities that began with egg coloring on Easter Eve.




That night Ry & I went to a movie, Dipsy and Tess had a pajama party at home. When I told Tess she was going to have a party with Dipsy, she patted her head and said "Hat? A hat?"



Well of course you can't have a party without a hat, so Dipsy & Tess got busy decorating party hats. They spent the night watching "The Princess and the Frog" and eating lots of popcorn.



After the pajama party, the Easter Bunny came to Tess' house and left quite the stash.



Tess geared up for Easter Egg Hunt #2 by raiding my basket. Why hunt for eggs when all the goods are ready for the picking from mom's stash?



Once Tess found out her eggs were filled with "MM's" she was game.



The Easter Bunny also brought Tess a fun bubble toy. Oh how she loves bubbles!



Tess drew a tribute to the Easter Bunny.
I was able to snap this lousy photo before she erased it.



We had our colored eggs for breakfast, and then headed to Nana & Papa's house for General Conference.



And Easter Egg Hunt #3! Tess is getting good at this! Wendy made a delicious Easter dinner and Tess enjoyed the most delectable "chicken" she's ever eaten.




So I think Tess gets the idea that Easter is about eggs and bunnies. But she also knows its about more than that. When asked to explain her Nursery picture, she says, "Jesus alive! Jesus happy!"

There is nothing better than having family stay with you and leaving your kid(s) home to go on a date! Knowing that you aren't paying for a babysitter and your child is having so much fun!!!!!!!!! :)

I love the hats they made for their party!

I also love the picture of Tess with mom and dad! Happy Easter and remember...Jesus is Coming!!!!!

Wow, Mimi, you sure look excited about coloring those eggs :)
Tess' picture of the Easter bunny is eerily good.
All right, now give us our Dipsy back! We want to make party hats too!

Yes, I did tell you that we went to see Alice in Wonderland, didn't I? Well, that's our "Mad Hatter" Colored Eggs pic where we all look a little looney. My other choice was the "Let's See How Far Tess Can Stick Her Finger Up Her Nose" Colored Eggs pic.

Sorry Maureen, you can't have Dipsy back. She's decided to stay with us until Rexburg thaws out (August).

That Easter Bunny drawing is incredible. Seriously incredible. I'm predicting an early retirement for you two. Amazing.
