Easter Recap

So I'm finally getting around to downloading our Easter pictures. It was a really great weekend that started with a party at Gray's school on Good Friday.

Gray and I made sugar cookies for the party and he was in charge of our custom food coloring shades for the icing and was also assigned to sprinkle detail. Here's a sampling of the cookies in progress. Daddy had the fun job of getting three plates full to class without messing up the icing.


On Saturday, we dyed eggs with Holten. They were into dunking the eggs in the color cups for about three minutes and then lost interest until it was time to put on stickers. Holten's attention span lasted longer than Gray's and he enjoyed dropping in a new egg each time one came out of a color. 

This photo cracks me up. Holt is so excited he looks possessed. He was trying to say cheese for the camera but wouldn't take his eyes off the orange dye cup I was putting vinegar into. 

There was a lot of sticker strategy to work out. It was serious business as you can see. 

On Sunday, Amy, Ben and Holten came to church with us. Gray loves being dressed up and refused to change his clothes later when we went to hunt eggs and eat at Amy's house. Meanwhile, Holt was not a fan of being in khakis and protested by refusing to look at the camera. 


After church we all met up at Amy and Ben's for a cookout. It was muddy from raining the day before, but that didn't stop the boys from tromping around and doing an egg hunt.

Ben and Michael hid the eggs which meant the boys had to brave leaf piles and bushes to get to them.
