An Egg-celent Easter Weekend

I know, I've been neglecting the blog. I blame my camera and my computer. They are hogging all the pictures and not sharing with the blog. It's not my fault. So I know I need to catch you up. But what better way to catch up, then to start with this weekend. We had a busy, fun weekend. Between Taylor's Birthday and Easter, we ran Olivia ragged. And she loved it. Here's a shot of her and Taylor at Taylor's birthday party. Taylor turned 3! Now Olivia knows hers is next, because we kept telling her "your birthday is after Taylor's." (even though Daddy's birthday is next, also with a 3 in it...)
So here's Olivia admiring Taylor's new barbie:


But before Taylor's birthday we started the weekend coloring eggs Friday night. Daddy dropped the color tabs in and we waited for them to dissolve. Very excitedly...

Ok, now how does this work? Daddy will show you.

First, put the egg on the holder. Then put it in the colors. She loved this and smiled the whole time. She kept saying "I'm so excited!"

Jealous Jill made an appearance with her hotdog:

After putting all the eggs in, we wait for them to get bright colors:

She was excited about the pink ones:

Checking out the other colors:

This is when she saw the blue one. Pretty Cool!

Daddy even wrote her name on the pink one :)

Mommy got to help too:

She kept wanting to eat them, but we told her the bunny had to come and hide them first.

So, first thing Sunday morning, after she woke up, she ran to the fridge to look for the eggs. No eggs were in there. Oh no, they are gone! We have to look for them. The Easter Bunny came and hid them. Luckily the Easter bunny only stayed in the living room, so we only had to look in one room. Olivia found the green one first. She was so excited. "I think I see the green one on my desk!" Then she tried to eat it. Shell and all. Silly girl.

Jill wanted in on some action:

This was funny. She kept walking right by this one and didn't see it. When we said to look up and down and all around, she started searching the shoes...do you see the pink one hiding?

Look at what I found looking for the eggs?? The bunny left a big basket too!

Action shot:

Found all the eggs!

More Easter goodies from Aunt Paula:

After hunting baskets and eggs, we went to church with Tesha and Tom, then to brunch, then to the USO for rides and another egg hunt. Then we were too tired. And we had to go home and take naps (mommy and Olivia).

Then Daddy said it was too nice of a day, so we went out to the beach to play some before the sun went down.

She played and played. She goes up the ladder:

Gets ready to go down the slide:

And Ta-da! Down the slide:

Playing on the ship:

Easter Sky. The sun went down, behind the clouds.

But then it peaked out a bit, right before going all the way down:

(This was the best shot she would give me)

Big sun, Beautiful sunset. Great way to end the day.

Happy Easter!
