Easter 2012

So Elise I think loves everything about Easter: coloring eggs, playing with plastic eggs, rolling eggs down the hill, looking for plastic eggs filled with candy, playing with cousins, being silly, just to name a few.

So here Elise is coloring eggs with her cousins. They all had a ball. You wouldn't guess that four children under the age of 5 could dye 8 dozen eggs so fast or not get distracted but they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and were soon looking for more eggs to dye.

 Traygen really wanted the eggs. Unfortunately he is getting ahead of himself and wanted to just throw them on the floor. :)

 I think Elise and Stetson would have dyed eggs all day long. Carter got bored after a while and was ready for the next part but Elise and Stetson started redyeing eggs when there was no more white ones. We finally had to start disappearing eggs or they would have stayed there all day and all of our eggs would have been brown.


It is a tradition on my mom's side of the family to roll Easter eggs down the hill, go get them and continue until they are completely broke apart. Our kids love it just as much as we did.

 Elise got tired after a while so started throwing them sitting down. How many Easter eggs can you find?

 My aunt also brought kites for the kids to fly. Elise thought that the princess kite was by far the very best. She doesn't completely get the concept of getting a kite to stay up by she sure loves to watch it fly and she had daddy to help her get it back up when it fell; so what else does she need.

 After a while of flying her kite and walking around some she came up to me and laid on my leg. Yes, she is still flying her kite from laying down. I guess she could watch it better, or something.

 Stetson and Elise have quite the little conversation even if the rest of us don't have any idea what it is about.

 Stetson and Elise had to make sure Grandpa made it down the hill okay. :)

 Elise loved finding the plastic eggs in the yard.

We have some more pics from our Easter morning at our house but they are all on video right now. So I will add the rest when we get them pulled off the video.
