Ah, the dyeing of the Easter eggs and the smell of vinegar…
I can’t believe we dyed 50 eggs and they are all gone between the deviled eggs for dinner and the egg salad for lunch.
Someone remind me that I can make egg salad anytime of the year, for some reason I forget about it for 11 mo. of the year, and it is really good. The homemade kind that is! Not the kind you find in a pre made sandwich in a vending machine! Eeewwww!
Happy with what she got in her basket. (nice look Emma!)
Not happy with what he got!
I wish I had a video of the dramatic throwing himself on the ground and the kicking of the legs.
I thought this was funny with Shadow checking out the big bumble bee.
He might think he is too cool for Easter egg hunts but the sponge bob pants tells me he is not…

Easter Dinner.
This is the kids table at dinner. We had 13 children and got 12 of them at this table. The adults were in the living room at two more tables. I need a bigger house!
Suzanne saved the day, again, and let us borrow tables and chairs.
I might post the recipes for what we had for dinner because I was pretty happy with the way it all turned out and was able to make most of it ahead of time. I hate cooking all day and like to do as much the day before as I can.
“Um, did she get something better than me?”
I have the greatest Sister in law on the planet, in fact I usually forget that we are actually related and think of her just as a best friend. Then someone reminds me that my Brother is somehow involved in the whole thing!

She organized an Easter egg hunt for the throngs of children that were at our house and tied in the Easter story with it, by mixing in the clues in the eggs. It turned out soooo nice! Below are the kids looking for their eggs with the clues. When Tonia got to the story the kids were so quiet and sat and listened to the other kids read out loud and talk about what they found in the eggs.
Foreshadowing?? I hope not!
What a great weekend we had and what a blessing that we were able to share it with our Family and really good friends. I want to thank everyone for being so patient with all the kids and the really full house. No one complained about anything all weekend and it was really nice. There is something special about this time of year, the weather is beautiful and everything is growing.

I love that we live in this wonderful country where we can choose to worship as we please and that we have the opportunity to celebrate the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ without persecution. May we not take this freedom for granted and may we keep this spirit with us all through out the year. Happy Easter!
Part comedian, part Dad, part athlete. He will boss around your children while they play ball.
Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
Cute pictures, it sounds like you had a great Easter.
Aw… fun stuff.
Where is the picture of you and Tonia racing in the Mario Kart tournament?
I agree on the egg salad. We should institute at least one day of each month we make egg salad sandwiches for dinner or something. Even BadBoy RockStar said Saturday morning…So are we having egg salad sandwiches today?
(I forget to make it the other 11 months too)
I couldn’t believe how good the kids were for the Easter egg story either! Just shows what awesome parents we are when they are all that well behaved 😉
p.s. dinner was awesome and the Mario tournament was a blast!
