Last night before bed, Zach asked, "When would it be appropriate to come upstairs and look for Easter eggs?" Stifling a laugh, I set 7:00 as the appropriate time. Zach and Ty came upstairs at 6:30 (which was better than the 5:00 of the last two mornings). Gavin, Lexi, and I had been holed up in the office for 30 minutes, trying to be quiet. The Littles had already found two plastic eggs and devoured the contents before I set the big boys loose to find their baskets and collect the several dozen plastic eggs that were hidden around the house. There was much fun and laughter. And sugar.
A few obligatory photos follow.
We didn't dye eggs this year. The boys didn't ask; we didn't offer. A grand tradition lost? Eh, maybe. But for a mama who's not so keen on hard-boiled eggs, it's not too tragic.
Happy Easter!

Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Love the sunglasses.
Re: no dyed eggs -- we haven't missed it too much. This year and last year I just couldn't take it on. We'll probably make it a sometimes tradition. We are having fun making other traditions, though.
I am so glad I wasn't the only one who didn't dye eggs this year! We actually like hard boiled eggs--so I know ours would have been eaten. But, since our oldest is not quite five, I decided it was more stress than fun. And, we didn't even miss it!
(I did, however, make "deviled" jello eggs for the family dinner.)
We gave up coloring eggs many a year ago. Holly doesn't even remember ever doing it. I guess that should make me feel bad, but strangely, I don't. Haha. Love the pictures, especially Gavin's crooked glasses. Giggles.
Fun! I have never colored eggs with my children. And I like hard-boiled eggs! Just not messes. And stress. So we don't do it. :)
Nice jammies, Lexi! Makes me so happy to see them on another little baby.
