Easter Festivities

 I decided I wanted to practice using my new cake/cookie decorating set. What better time than Easter? The girls were more than happy to help make the dough, roll the dough, cut the dough, and of course, ice the cookies! 

 I started out with just two colors, but as we progressed, I could see that two would not be enough. So we made more icing with different colors.

The girls were SO proud of their beautiful cookies!

 The majority of the cookies made it to the end, but several were eaten in the process. This was lots of fun! I'll probably do it again some time.

 What's Easter without an egg hunt?

 Abby would have rather played. Next year I think she will get more into it.

 And of course, we dyed some eggs! We made 24, so it's a good thing Brie likes hard boiled eggs. Chelsea will eat parts of the whites of AN egg, but not much at a time. None of us like the cooked yolks plain. But the eggs did make some good deviled eggs for mommy and daddy! The kids wouldn't touch them and made barfing noises at them. Ha!

 We made it through with no broken eggs or spilled cups of dye this year! Woot!

Abby didn't get to dye eggs, but she was still hanging around. We did all of this before church on Easter Sunday! The Easter bunny did visit in the morning as well. The girls woke up to a small egg of candy and a chocolate bunny for each of them. They were very excited for the day. They were SO cute in their matching Easter dresses. I didn't get a picture because there was a couple of kids melting down by the time we were ready for a picture. But I'll get them all dolled up again one of these Sundays and take some pictures. They were SO adorable!
