Let the Easter fun begin!

I cannot tell you how much I was looking forward to this long weekend. With both of us back to work full time, it hasn't left us a lot of time at home -- to spend together, to get caught up on chores, to see friends. We were really looking forward to spending more time together and especially looking forward to Maelyn's favourite holiday -- Easter!

Friday morning we worked on some Easter crafts...




This girl loves using scissors...but cutting the basket filling up made a huge mess!

We then dyed some hard boiled eggs for Easter breakfast...



Ooops! Mommy dropped an egg -- so Maelyn had a snack!

We were really happy with how they turned out...

Later that afternoon we went to my Mom's house for an Easter egg hunt and dinner. Maelyn absolutely loves searching for Easter eggs -- she had a blast!



 Notice the gum in her mouth? She is just slightly addicted to this new treat...




Reading an Easter book with Grandma...


Grandma is an avid tennis player and has been waiting for the day to give
Maelyn her first racket -- Maelyn loved it!

I absolutely LOVE the pigtails. Her hair is so long now.
How did you get the patterns on the eggs?
