Easter double take

We celebrated Easter twice- once in DE before Ben left to the middle east and once in Idaho with our family here. That's lots of egg dying, egg finding, and ham eating. Lucky us for double the fun and double the thoughts about the blessing of our Savior.

Rhone was quite the egg dyer. I don't know why but, I some how I envisioned it going better (well less messy) than it did. Almost all our eggs ended up cracked and we had one green hand, but boy was it fun.




Rhone is loving all the spoons. Notice the green hand.


Rhone and Ben with finished eggs.






It took a little bit for Rhone to catch on, but once he did, he loved egg finding.


Our little family after the egg hunt. Am I so glad Rhone got to celebrate with his dad.



Rhone and I flew to Idaho with my mom the Friday before Easter so we were able to visit with lots of extended family during the weekend.



We learned our lesson and only used 2 colors to dye eggs with the 2nd time. We had much, much better results. I love Rhone's expression here.




Excited about his Easter basket finds.




Getting tips from Papa on using the REAL shovel he got for Easter. Yes, that is snow!





Olin and Rhone bundled up for the Easter egg hunt with their great grandma and grandpa.
