Oh, what a lovely Easter it's been! We kicked off the festivities earlier this week with coloring eggs. This year we tried a little twist with the eggs. Did you know that using brown eggs and dying them for a bit longer will turn the eggs into the most beautiful jewel tone colors? It really works! The boys had fun naming each egg. We had the usual eggs named Mom, Dad, Luke, and Reid; then we also had eggs assuming the identities of Superman, Batman, and Clutch Powers (hero from their new favorite Lego movie).
"Hmmm ... which color should I choose?"
On Easter morning, our goal was to go to 8 a.m. Mass so we were up bright and early ready to hunt for eggs.
Treasures for all!
All dressed up for church.
The boys were so funny about wearing their ties.
Luke said this morning, "I'm ready for my work meeting."
Reid thinks ties are what you wear on dates.
Handsome little men
After Mass, we returned home and put the finishing touches on Easter brunch. We hosted several neighbors and Papa for brunch. It was great to spend the afternoon chatting and watching the kids play. It was even warm enough to sit on the patio for a bit. Hooray for spring!
