Easter Day

 This year Max had his first Easter egg hunt at home and at Naps and Amma's house. He couldn't stop saying, "Fun, fun!" all day. He was so cute. We loved watching him race around the house to find his eggs. I kind of want to hide them again just to watch his reaction.


On Saturday night we tried to dye eggs. I COMPLETELY forgot how to do it!! I think it has been almost 20 years since I have done this. First, Max tried to eat the dye tablet. Luckily, my friend Todd and I caught him before he swallowed it, lol. Secondly, I couldn't remember what to put the eggs in. I got out Tupperware containers & they were definitely too shallow. Todd and Clint reminded me that most people use coffee cups. Then, I didn't get spoons out and was using the wire holder thing- except I forgot to bend it. After a few minutes, Todd couldn't take it anymore and bent it for me. I think I was way too tired.....yeah.....



Todd, Ope!! (He says ope instead of open) Max had to have Uncle Todd open all of his eggs.  



  

Later that afternoon we went to Ken and Karan's house for another egg hunt and dinner. Karan made pot roast, potatoes, and carrots- one of my favorites!  It was a wonderful afternoon and I'm glad we were able to be together.  


High-five!!


Max picked a hundred dandelions throughout the day. Most of them ended up in the pond.

I love you Daddy!!
