Easter

We had the most beautiful Easter Sunday here in Boston. Unfortunately the day before was not as nice.  It was almost like the storms during the Crucifixion and then wake to the beautiful weather and knowledge of the Resurrection on Easter Morning. We had a nice dinner at a friends house, and it was just a lovely day.

Ezra got to do 2 different Eater egg hunts, one on Friday with primary kids, and another indoor one on Saturday with kids closer to his age. He enjoyed both of them, but still needs a little practice to be competitive. During the first one he would pass up on some eggs and grab others. I guess he knows which ones he is too good for. After he had found his limit he still just enjoyed running around with the other kids who were still looking. At his second hunt he seemed to think he had enough and was less into finding more once he had a few. Luckily we didn't come home with too much candy!

 Thank you to the Bullocks for letting us use their house!

Most of the candy from this hunt didn't even make it home.

While other kids were still looking Ezra was digging in to what he already had.

We also had our annual egg dying party. It was the messiest year to date, but I think everyone had a good time!

 Ezra really enjoyed putting the color tabs in the vinegar.

 This was Austin's first time coloring eggs, and it was pretty awesome to watch.

At first he would crush the eggs in his hand and then throw it into the dye.

Needless to say his mom ended up doing some very hands on helping.

 The Chase's were the only ones to make it to all four years of our Egg Dying Extravaganza.

Aren't they the greatest? (In others defenses they didn't live here all four years.)

I made the multi colored one and Bob did the Black Label and 2-toned one.The rest were all Ezra. 

He is trying to add stickers to them, but the stickers were too old and didn't stick.

On Easter morning the Easter Bunny left Ezra a trail of eggs to follow, which made it much easier for him to find his basket. Daddy was not so lucky and I had to practically tell him where it was. Ezra was pretty spoiled between us and Grandma and Grandpa. He seems to really enjoy all of his spoils though. All in all we had a great day!

 Following the trail!

 He got the rest of the Toy Story figurines he has been earning for cleaning his room.

He also got some Lightening McQueen clogs, Bambi, a new church book, a swimming suit,

some new outfits, and of course candy.

 Testing out his new recorder!

No need to wait for breakfast when you have plenty of candy.

I think he liked the ring pop the best though.
