Easter

The Easter Bunny did make it to our house this year. He showed up on Sat. while we took a break from remodeling our pantry. The girls first found their Easter baskets and then headed outside for an egg hunt. The Easter Bunny got a little carried away with candy and eggs this year providing each kid with over 40 eggs filled to the brim with candy. Raquel collected most of them because as soon as Natalya figured out what was in the eggs she stopped to eat what was in it before collecting more. But in the end we dumped all the candy out into a bowl so that the whole family could partake of the mounds of candy.

Sunday we cleaned up the house and got the water turned on just in time to have our neighbors (Ann, Wes and William) and Andrea Hall (a Dr. that works with Mike) over for Easter dinner. We ate our traditional Easter meal of ham, pineapple sauce, funeral potatoes, veggies, a salad and finished it off with strawberry shortcake. It all tasted great and I was able to make it minus sawdust from the pantry renovation.

Monday we finally got around to dying some Easter eggs. We got a kit that made tie dyed eggs, cool looking but very messy. Both Natalya and Raquel had fun making the eggs and making a mess, I don't know if more dye got on Natalya or the eggs.
