Easter 2011

We had a good Easter. It was a gorgeous day. Ben asked if we could color eggs this year so I got one of those fun little kits and we went out to the garage and driveway to die our eggs. Ryan had actually never (to his knowledge) died Easter Eggs before so it was fun for everyone! Afterward Ryan traced Benny on the driveway a few times! We enjoyed sitting outside on the front porch for a while too. 
 
We spent the rest of the afternoon with Ryan's family. Everyone came so it was a busy house but lots of fun. It's always good to see extended family.

Ryan & I hid the eggs; the ones we dyed and the ones Nana had put together (which are far more fun because they have money in them!) out in the backyard. The kids went on their hunt and Ben had a ball. He really had fun with it this year. Nana & Poppy got them all Easter baskets too. I decided I'll do that for him next year. :) BUT I really want him to understand the importance of Easter and why we really celebrate it, and that it's about the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior... and not just a bunny and some candy. That part is fun yes, but not the important part. We were SUPER exhausted after having had a very busy week so we didn't stay too long, but did enjoy our time!
