The excitement of coloring Easter eggs!!!
(Faith has always loved coloring eggs. It is such a wonder to her. She and Reed sat for an hour with so much patience. They wanted to see who could make the brightest colored egg so they sat there with their eggs in the dye forever. It was so funny. I think Reed ended up with the brightest egg....that blue one:) Dean colored one egg just to make me happy and then said he was finished. (Is this what happens when your 13?)
We had a very blessed and simple Easter filled with our family traditions and time being together. (And lots of wonderful sunshine!!)
(The roses are from Faith. She had Daddy cut them from our rose bushes and she brought them to me and said "Happy Easter Mommy. These are to show you that I love you.")
On Friday we took the kids to see Monsters vs. Aliens. It was a fun family movie and Faith loved it. She actually sat through the entire movie without saying one word. She usually can not stay quiet for too long and she will start talking during movies. When this movie was over Dale and I looked at each other in shock! I think this was the longest she has ever gone without talking! lol It was definitely her kind of movie!
On Saturday we took Faith to an egg hunt at Dean's school. She was slightly overwhelmed with thetons of kids running after hundreds of eggs at one time egg hunt. When she would run to an egg and get ready to grab it (along with hundreds of other kids reaching for the same egg) she would just kind of freeze. She did get 5 eggs which she was really excited about!
On Easter morning we were awaken at sunrise to Reed and Faith running in our room that it was time to wake up because the Easter bunny came. They jumped on Dean to wake him up and we all sleepily went downstairs to check out Easter baskets and to have an egg hunt at 7:00 in the morning. We managed to eat a quick breakfast of chocolate candy ;) to get to Easter church service on time. After church (to make up for our unhealthy breakfast) we went out for a nice Easter brunch.
Faith and Reed went back to school Monday after being off for 3 weeks. We're still trying to get back into the routine. Dean is off this week on his break. I'm thankful he's content just sleeping in and staying home because it gives me a chance to try and get caught up on some things. Some of our neighbors are having a garage sale this week-end so I'm hoping to do some cleaning out and join them.
Hope everyone has a great week!!!

glad you all had a wonderful Easter! That is why we have not taken Noah to an egg hunt in a few years. The three times we took him, they about knocked him over and he was lucky to get just one egg, it was awful and we would leave so shocked. lol
It sounds like a perfect Easter! That's sweet about the roses.
What a wonderful Easter! i didn't even get out our plastic eggs. I set the resurrection eggs on the counter the night before easter meaning to do them - didn't. Even the "bunny" forgot to come. Sigh.
I love the picture of your Pup - that belongs on a Hallmark card!
