Easter 2011

So, I thought I'd get a jump on the Easter post since we are headed out of town next week.  We did Easter with my mom today (Saturday).  We ate food, dyed Easter eggs, and painted eggs that were blown out (the yolks, that is).  It was a fun day.  Oh, and there were Easter egg hunts too.  The weather was gorgeous and it was a fun day.  Not everyone could make it so it was a small crowd but still a good day.

The Easter egg hunt... there was a lot of this going on (digging in the grass/flowers for eggs)

Pink was her first color of choice (of course)

Not sure why the face... but, Quentin prefers this face over a smile lately.  I don't know, he's 11, we just go with it.

The master egg dyer, Alexandra.


The whole crew dying eggs

Our little girl...
Elaina wore an old shirt of my moms.  I just thought she looked cute in it, so hence the picture

Then it was outside to paint the eggs.  Elaina really liked this and got into it this year

Quentin and Alexandra painting their eggs

Even Erik got in on the action

A shot of all the finished eggs...

The last egg was just rolled around in all the colors for a tie dyed look

Mom, Kate, and Alexandra.  Kate exaggerated the head tilt as a tribute to my mom and all her sisters.  They are head tilters from way back.  You don't see a picture of them anywhere where their head is not 90 degrees in 1 direction or the other

Kate made the most adorable cupcakes.  Look like flowers with the dum dum suckers.....
