Easter Party 2010

We hosted our third annual Easter party the Saturday before Easter. I love traditions and this is one that is here to stay. Check out our first annual Easter party and second annual Easter party to see how these kiddos have grown. Sorry for the crazy amount of pictures, but it was a very fun morning.

I first attempted to read the children a book about the true meaning of Easter. I think it was pretty hard for the kiddos to pay attention with all those Easter eggs staring back at them from the grass. DSC_0781DSC_0782

The ones we have been finding all week in the house didn’t have anything in them.” DSC_0816“Whoa, that looks like candy in there.” DSC_0817“Hey, that is candy in there.” DSC_0818“HOW COME NOBODY TOLD ME THIS BEFORE.” DSC_0820 “I think I’ll try a little bit.”DSC_0822 DSC_0824 “Hey Olivia, did you know there is candy in these eggs.”DSC_0825”Of course I did. You do know who my parents are, right?DSC_0827

Back to the driveway to check out our loot!DSC_0829 DSC_0831 DSC_0832 DSC_0833 DSC_0835 DSC_0836 DSC_0837 DSC_0839Evidently Olivia did know what was in the eggs and didn’t quite understand the concept of no more.

Next came the Easter egg dyeing.DSC_0843DSC_0848DSC_0851 DSC_0855DSC_0863DSC_0868DSC_0874DSC_0884DSC_0888 DSC_0898 DSC_0900 DSC_0904

We also released the butterflies that Doncie and Poppy gave Lily for her birthday. We watched them grow from caterpillars. The children loved setting them free.DSC_0911DSC_0923DSC_0928 DSC_0929 DSC_0934

We spent the rest of the morning playing, biking, picture taking, tree climbing, and cupcake eating.DSC_0905DSC_0908DSC_0743DSC_0752 DSC_0754 DSC_0763DSC_0883DSC_0938Mr. Jason definitely needs a little girl. DSC_0950 I think Mrs. Alison does too. DSC_0958 DSC_0983DSC_0981
