Easter Weekend Part 1:

We started the weekend off by coloring Easter Eggs on Thursday evening as a family. First we went out to dinner with Uncle Brett & Aunt Kelsey (KK). Ethan loves spending time with them so they ate and helped us chase him all over the mall. Afterwards we headed to my parents to color eggs as a family. It is one of our many traditions. It was amazing having all of us there to participate. Trying to get a family picture is always a task. Ethan never looks when needed. Here Ethan is smiling for 1 camera and I smiled for another. Oh well because Ethan looks too cute here.

Time to dye our Easter Eggs. Ethan was interested in this for a little bit.

Part of the trouble with Ethan coloring the eggs is he thinks the eggs are balls. What does this mean??? That we throw the eggs into the coloring.

Now we are going to paint an egg. Should have made note before doing this that Ethan would want to mix all of the colors into 1 color giving us a lovely brown/green color.

Time for a break from our artist ability. He thought he and Papa could play with some toys for a little while.

Now time to help uncle and KK. Look closely and you will see the blue coloring splattering from Ethan throwing the egg into the coloring.

Family eggs.

Ethan's eggs. He actually colored a couple but these were the ones he worked so hard on.

Afterwards he thought he would push his cart around. Nana & Papa bought this last weekend. Ethan loves to push it all over the tile because it makes a lovely sound.

One of Ethan's favorite things. Nana reading to him. Ethan will bring her books all day and ask her to "bead"

Friday night Ethan's 2 cousins stayed the night. Since it was nice they went outside to play. They really enjoyed the sandbox.

I love this picture.

We decided to color more eggs tonight. The girls loved this. Ethan did not want to participate much tonight. He did color a few but I was not able to take many pictures because I was helping everyone.

Final product.

I love having all this family time together. We have all these wonderful things because our Lord gave his only son for us. I hope everyone stops to remember what this weekend is truly about.

We love you all! Happy Easter!
