Easter

2011

Coloring Eggs

   
Brendan and Erin put the color pills in the water

   
Grandma Kathy covered her dining room set and Tessa got ready for the excitement

      
First they drew on the eggs (or face) with markers

         
Then they colored the egss and set them out to dry

         
They added stickers and dipped their eggs in special glue to attach the glitter

   
The finished eggs....boys and girls

Easter Morning

         
The baskets.....The girls were happy to get everything they asked for....and more!

         
Checking out their goodies....they insisted on Hershey chocolate....not the Easter bunny chocolate

      
Tessa thought her bunny ears were good enough to eat

      
Enjoying their gifts

      
The Easter Egg Hunt....they found all of their eggs

         
Since Tessa was tired (Easter Morning started at 5:30), Grandma Kathy turned on
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for Daphne and Erin and went back to bed with Tessa

Easter Dinner at Great Grandma Ward's

      
First, a bath in the sink for Tessa

   
Ready to go....Having fun in the elevator

      
Tessa....Erin....Daphne

   
Jon and Ma

   
Terry sets out the ham....We also had rolls and a great vegetable gumbo

The Easter Egg Hunt

         
Tessa wrapped up like an Easter egg....and a cool Easter egg....Grandma Kathy....Tessa and Dave

      
The little kids got a head start

      
Then the big kids joined the fun

         
Tessa gets her first Easter egg

      
Brendan is very serious about finding eggs

      
Owen actually got many more eggs than last year because he kept at it for a while

      
More searching....Brendan's special egg (Each kid got a special egg with their name on it and a special gift inside)

      
Erin...Daphne....Owen liked to open his eggs and eat the contents right away

      
The long view....Brendan is still quite serious

   
Play break!

      
Owen opens his special egg and is delighted with his new train

   
Brendan really liked his special gift....he even smiled!

      
Erin and Daphne with their special eggs

   
Tessa and Dave taste the weather


All done!  Fifteen kids and 934 eggs...it was quite a success!


Jean served up a nice dinner and then Terry, Daphne and Owen went for a walk

Using up the Easter eggs

      
Grandma Kathy made traditional deviled eggs....Erin learned how to use an egg slicer and made this wonderful creation!
