Easter Festivities

Our Easter was fun this year, although a very different kind of Easter with all the rain and Daddy on call at the hospital all day Saturday until Sunday morning.  But we had a great time coloring eggs!  It reminded me of all the times we used to do it as kids with our cousins. :)

 E thoroughly enjoyed dropping in the little color tablets.  (That is the best part)

 Sammi enjoyed beaming at everyone

 He was super cute trying to figure out how the dumb egg-dipper thing was supposed to work.  He kept trying to slip it over the top of the egg.

 This resulted in him just kind of tossing the eggs in.

 Sammi has tears in her eyes in this picture and E looks concerned because just seconds before I set the kids on the top step with an Easter basket for a picture and backed down a couple steps and just as I raised the camera, Sammi decided to dive forward and fall down 2 steps before I caught her midair.  (Bad mother of the year...) She was pretty sad, but then abruptly stopped crying when she saw Emerson.  He was quite distraught at having her dive out of his arms.  It was one of those things looking back that was a really bad idea. Set your nine-month-old on the top step with the three-year-old in charge of holding her...nice...But she recovered nicely.

 Sampling her egg

E finding the places that the clever Easter Bunny put the eggs.  Did you know the Easter Bunny's name is Scooper?  Neither did we until E announced it to us.  He started referring to him as "Scoop" for short.  I guess they're tight like that.

And apparently my kids have trouble looking at the camera at the same time...but here they are with their Easter spoils.  E was pretty excited about his basket, but he REALLY liked Sammi's because Scooper brought her Tangled.  He "oves her ong hair" and her "magic hair" and thinks Max the horse is hilarious.

HAPPY EASTER!
