We were so excited waiting on the Easter Bunny to leave us baskets full of goodies!

Nice job Easter Bunny!

Good morning Jackson!

So much fun coming out of these baskets! Love this expression!

My sweet girl holding her new lamb.

Who could resist chocolate eggs from this sweet face? Love you little man!

Thank you for this smile Abigail.

Believe it or not, he loved his “dress up” clothes. He actually wanted a bow tie.

Princess is what she wants to be.

I had to include this photo because of the shoes, and because of Abigail’s look of disapproval! Isabela picked out a pair of her sister’s glittery red shoes (hand me down’s from Cousin Jaydie) and insisted on wearing them! I’ll not post the tantrum that followed when we tried to put the white ones on!

Thanks to our photographer Abigail! Love you guys!

We were able to have Papaw take a quick pic for us!

Since we took him from work, we made him stop for a picture.

Happy Easter from the cousin. Too much fun in another basket.

Beautiful girl Jayden. The cool thing about her dress is that she has a matching one for her doll!

Cousin Elijah has an almost matching outfit to Jackson. Having fun earlier in the day hunting eggs in the rain, he got muddy. Maybe we’ll get a photo of these two boys looking slick later.

Nana and Isabela

Handsome man Elijah, thanks for the photo Brooke!

We were excited to visit with Amanda, Amy, Synclair, and Saxton.

Abigail and Isabela were so intrigued by sweet baby girl Synclair.

Synclair was mesmerized by the ceiling fan.

Jackson and Elijah loved having another boy to play with! Love this picture of energy driven Jackson and Saxton pausing for a hug.!

Nana and Aunt Fran were so excited to be surrounded by all of these little people!

Thanks for inviting us to a play date. We had an awesome visit catching up with very special cousins we rarely get to to see.

We have had fun all month playing with colors…just in time for Easter egg coloring. For a Science lesson we started with a bowl of blue, red, and yellow colored water, and we had three bowls of clear liquid. We wanted to do an experiment to find out what happens when we poured a little of one color to a little of another.

We learned that a solution is an even mixture of two or more liquids. Jackson loved that when he added red to his blue, purple magically appeared.

Yellow and blue make green, yellow and red make orange!

Check out those bright colors! A fun Science experiment!

We joined Elijah, Jayden, and Nana for egg coloring a different way.

We put our eggs in a baggie full of thick colored gel and rolled our egg to coat it with color.

They loved this new procedure! The eggs were sticky and our fingers just as messy, but it sure was fun…especially coloring with our cousins.

We also colored eggs with vinegar and colored tablets

Love ALL my little bunnies!

We weren’t gentle at all when we colored our eggs. Out of excitement they were quickly dropped in the mugs of color. Every egg was cracked! However, we were very pleased with our final product!

Stevie and I used to “chuck a puck” at the hockey game on Saturday nights, now we “chuck an egg” to see who can hit the water of the pond.

Nice entertainment…and free!
