Easter

Like every Holiday this year, these two little cuties made this one so much fun. We first started celebrating when we went over to grannies and colored eggs and went on easter hunt. Ryann loved coloring the eggs. I thought we were only going to do like maybe four eggs, but grannie made at least a dozen and Ryann dipped every single one of them in every single

one of the colors at least like 10 times. I thought the eggs were going to turn out brown, but some of them actually turned out very pretty. When Ryann was done coloring we cracked all of them so I made so deviled chicks for everyone. Ryann liked everything up to that point. She took a bite of the egg and then gagged for I am not kidding the next 5 min. It was a good thing granny liked them though because she is going to be eating eggs for a while. Granny was a really great sport about letting Ryann be a two yr old being completely messing and exploring everything. It of coarse could not have made me happier to see her having so much fun. Then my mom hid some eggs for her and faith to find. Faith found most of the eggs and Ryann ate most of them. So by the end of the day all the hard boiled eggs were cracked and all the candy was eaten. The day was a huge success in my book. We also celebrated Easter with Grandma and Grandpa Erickson. We started off the day at the park flying kites. The Vernal cousins were in town and all of us loved playing wtih our cousins. Next we had a Easter Hunt in Grandma's backyard. Ryann didn't find a ton of eggs, but she loved and got so excited at everyone she did find! Poor dad had to work the whole weekend. Even on Easter Sunday. So we didn't look for our Easter baskets until after he got home from work, but we kept busy with church and going over to great granny's for sunday dinner. Major loved sitting on granny's lap and help her eat her mash potatoes! On the way home I kept telling Ryann that the Easter bunny came to our house and hid a basket full of treats and toys. The Easter bunny hid her basket in her favorite hiding place, the shower, so she found it right away. Ryann got all of her favorite things in her basket. A necklace and bracelet, sunglasses, sidewalk chalk, and bubbles, and her most favorite of all were "MAMO" jammies, she kept running all the around the house saying "MY MAMO, MY MAMO!!!!" For the next week Ryann kept asking if we could find her easter basket! Major didn't show quite the enthusiasm as Ryann did, but he seemed pretty happy with what he got too. Since dad missed most of the festivities he had to make up for it. Major loves playing wtih his daddy! I was the luckiest one of all I got to celebrate Easter with my little kiddos All the eggs and candy in the world couldn't be better than these two!
