Easter 2010: Part 2

After church on Easter, we ran home & gave Mason his Easter basket full of (new, non-dried out) PlayDoh, a stuffed animal, a car, and some candy. (it was a little sunny!)


Then we headed to my parent's house for lunch. My mom had made a big meal for the whole family & it was good!
Grandma, Chloe', Lindsay (A.K.A. me!), Wayne, (Mason is in the corner by Wayne), Dad, Angela, Forrest, Zach (Forrest's son), Cameron..and Mom was taking the picture.


Check out my mom's beautiful "tablescaping!"

After lunch, Mason got several treats & toys from everyone...

Then we went outside to let him hunt eggs. He found all 57 eggs pretty fast & had a great time!

Dying Easter Eggs

On Saturday, Mason colored Easter eggs! We have about 60 plastic eggs to hunt that are filled with goodies, but I wanted him to experience coloring real eggs, so I boiled 18 eggs & 6 of the shells cracked, so he colored a dozen eggs! (which was plenty) I bought this contraption that you drop dye in, place the egg inside & put the lid on top. You then push down on the button on top & it spins the egg around in the dye. It creates a pretty marble-looking design. It wasn't messy at all and made the eggs so pretty~plus Mason liked pushing the button down over & over to coat to eggs.





THESE eggs, however, did NOT turn out so good!!! Long story short, I tried to make Jello jigglers 3D eggs and 2 things went wrong~I forgot to grease the molds first and the molds wouldn't stay closed & therefore leaked out the hot Jello! It was a disaster! The good news is that they taste good & Mason likes them!

Egg Hunter

I'm a little behind on posting...April is such a busy month!
On the Saturday before Easter, the weather was nice and we knew it was going to turn cold & rainy for Sunday, so I took Mason to the backyard for an impromptu Egg Hunt. I had only half planned on doing it, thinking that he would have another opportunity somehow, but when I realized he wouldn't, I couldn't deprive him of a tradition! He had so much fun! He found all the eggs and made me hide them again!
