Easter

Easter morning started out early for us. Church starts at 9 and we were doing our traditional German breakfast at my parents before that so, we had to have everyone up and ready by 7:30. But it turned out to be no problem, they started piling in our room at about 5, crazy kids! So the fun begins with the finding of baskets and eggs that the Easter bunny has deposited over night.

Then we headed to Nana and Papas for our yummy German breakfast, with our personalized dishes authentic from Germany, so fun and super Yummy!

My way fun aunts sent the kids an Easter package, so they had a blast tearing into that! Thanks Kelli and Cha!

So Easter presents quite the dilemma for me. Imagine this 4 kids each needing their own 12 eggs to dye (because it is tradition, and they MUST have their own dozen, that's why) What in the world do you do with 4 dozen hard boiled eggs?

So this year I decided not to boil them at all, (and Graeson was conveniently excluded as we did the coloring while she was napping, poor baby misses all the fun, but mommy sure didn't miss the mess that would have been inevitable)

Anyway, three dozen eggs, none of which were boiled and I am happy to report only one casualty!

The kids had a blast too. With kids it is really not about how cute you can make the eggs but just how many colors you can soak any one egg in! Pretty fun!

And here is cutie Jane just so she is not left completely out. She handed me the camera and said "Cheese!" So cute
