Sweet Easter Memories

Claire's gorgeous Easter Dress that her Grandma made for her. She was almost too little for it still, such a petite little thing! But it sure was a pretty dress! I will treasure it.

My sweet children in their Easter finery.

(Somehow we managed to keep them clean right up until this picture, then they promptly took off their shoes and half their clothes and ran around that way the rest of the day! They are never this clean and neat looking at home... But they are happy!)

On our table on Easter morning.

I hope you all have a blessed day today! We are off to church, and then for lunch at Grandma and Grandpa's house, where we will hunt eggs and play in the sunshine all afternoon!

Dyeing Easter Eggs

We dyed eggs this morning. We decided to do it the "old fashioned way" and just go with the food coloring dyes. I know, I know, it's not as "cool" or "green" as natural homemade dyes, or as interesting as the beautiful silk dyed eggs I've seen on some blogs lately. But the boys had fun doing it and I didn't have to stress about anything, that meant more fun for me too!

Between the baby wanting to nurse all the time and my husband's grandmother visiting for a couple of weeks from Guatemala, things have been very busy around here lately. Thus the choice to pick up food coloring from the store and add the drops to vinegar and water!

Didn't our eggs turn out pretty?
