Easter

Although Jayden had been bugging Tara to dye Easter eggs for several days, we finally found the time to do so after her soccer game on the day before Easter. For the most part it went pretty smoothly, with only a few disagreements about waiting for a certain dye color creeping up from time to time. The kids enjoyed themselves, even though I bet they wish that they had more eggs for each of them to decorate... I can only eat so any hard boiled eggs though!

Even though the kids woke up early today in anticipation of seeing what was left behind in their Easter baskets, they were kind enough to let Tara & I sleep in for a while. When we did get up, the kids scoured through their baskets while Tara & I made breakfast. From their it was a day of enjoying too much candy and checking out their gifts.
