dying easter eggs and easter baskets

dying easter eggs is so fun with kids.  our kids hurry and zip through dunking them in all of the colors as fast as they can.  this year we found an idea to pull out sharpie markers to draw designs on the eggs.  this was a huge hit with katelyn who loves to color.



reese was sleeping through most of our egg dying experience, but loved joining us and playing with  the markers once she woke up.

 
tyler was being a dork and getting tanner all riled up when it was time to pull the eggs out.  it worked well because tanner was extra excited about the egg-dying process.



the easter bunny visited us the same day we did easter eggs, which happened to be the friday before easter.  we like to pass the baskets out early so that we can focus more on the Savior on sunday.  we would have done saturday instead but tyler had to work all day, and we didn't want him to miss the kids reactions.
 
this top picture cracks me up.  our neighbor had gotten his motorcycle out and was starting it up right as we were taking pictures.  they couldn't focus on anything else.
