Easter 2013

So excited to be dying Easter eggs.... they have been counting down the days all week.  


We kept telling them that they had to wait until the eggs were dark enough.... so every two seconds they would grab an egg and hold it up and yell.... "this one done enough????"  It was usually followed by a collective "eek" and then the sound of a egg falling to the table with a CRACK!  I think all in all we lost 7 eggs out of 4 dozen... I guess that's not so bad!

Asking auntie Christine and Hunkle Stephen for their advice.... "this one done???"

This photo is brought to you by the color: BLUE

Poor daddy was at home painting walls.... thanks daddy.

Easter basket from gramma and grumpy: a few of their favorite things... bubble guns, their "own" box of animal crackers, chap stick (just like grumpy's).... oh yeah gummies too!

Checking out their eggs from the hunt, complete with jelly beans, quarters and dollar bills!  Nathan kept saying that he found more "coins".... so funny, where to they hear these things???  I don't feel like we ever call it that. 

Nathan and Auntie Meghan!
I always love Easter and many years I end up working so I was very excited to spend the weekend with family.  The boys were so cute all dressed up in their little dress shirts and ties. I can't believe how big and old they seem.  
Yeah... so happy the snow is melting and with any luck at all spring will be right around the corner!
Love always,
The Utechs
