Getting ready for Easter

April 1st we had a friend come over and dye eggs with us! The kiddos had so much fun! I don't know what I'm going to do when the older two start to be to big for the tub, it's getting close! I love that there's no mess to clean up.

Dyeing the eggs





Messy hands





Messy tub




Finished products!



That was Thursday and the next evening Daddy drove to Chicago to pick up Grandpa D!!! They didn't get home until late so the kids got to see him when they got up Saturday morning! Grandpa (Ryan's Dad) stayed here for just over a week. It was wonderful to have some family up here again! Saturday and Sunday (Easter) we spent most of the day listing to conference. It was so wonderful to be uplifted and hear latter day Prophet and apostles give us guidance. On Saturday we did an Easter egg hunt! Grandpa and Daddy begrudgingly participated (they wanted to work on the house!) but I think they were glad they did. The kiddos had so much fun! Kaitlyn wanted to do it over and over!

Lined up ready to go




Finding eggs












And the ONLY picture I got as proof that Grandpa was here! This was his idea, two bellies.



Grandpa was so good with his grand babies, usually when we go down to Texas the kids just run strait to Grandma so it was good for him to spend time with the kids!
He actually came to help Ryan with the house remodeling. He worked so hard and loved it, and we LOVED all the help! Thanks Dad!

And next time I'll put up Easter morning!
