I post easter pictures because they all turn out so cute even though I hate the holiday itself. With my new obssession Pinterest now (along with the rest of the world) I found a few different ideas on how to color easter eggs besides the traditional way of buying the kit, so we tested it out and it didn't turn out too bad. We used kool-aid which the boys wanted to drink because it smelled so good and food coloring, it was interesting to see the colors after, and I think it was worth the shot, I also baked my eggs to make them hard boiled instead of cooking them on the stove and I have found that the majority of the eggs were easier to peel being baked then cooked, thanks again pinterest (what a great website). So I was definately going out on a limb this year trying all sorts of new stuff. And again this holiday just wasn't the same not having Grandma Cynthia here and her 300 easter egg hunt, It breaks our hearts to hear our boys talk about it and miss her so much knowing that their is nothing we can do about it. They did take their favorite colored eggs and they put them on her grave when we went to visit, not the greatest feeling but we are blessed to be able to visit a spot dedicated to her, and we keep her in our hearts often and miss and love her so much! But we stayed busy trying to make sure everything was ready and done, between birthdays, baseball, easter and life in general lol and I think we barely made it. Hope you all had a good Easter, may we remember the true meaning.
This was the food coloring section This was the Kool-aid section

It Freakyn looks like christmas in those easter baskets, if you ask me

The boys got new gaming chairs

Braken's was hidden in the towels under the sink

Meat's was camoflauged in the pantry with all the food

Easter Sunday and off to church we go

Grandma and Grandpa Blackham had an easter egg hunt in their backyard, we were glad for good weather this year

Then counting them all and going thru them is the funnest part

They make out like bandits with the money

Colie man, meat, Braken

What would easter be without flying a kite, we had a little gap during the day where we had wind so they were able to do it, the kids loved it
