Easter Festivities

Dying eggs is one of my favorite Easter activities! Beau got in on the action this year. Both boys had fun choosing colors and not so much fun waiting on the dye process. It's hard to be patient!

After a lovely church service, we met Nana and Pops at the Park Cities Hilton for a yummy brunch. Apparently I've really been sheltering my children from some tasty things! Lincoln discovered a mad love for orange juice and french toast. (We immediately went to the grocery store to buy orange juice because he loved it so much!) Beau went crazy with the french toast too! He ate at least 3 slices and charmed all of our neighboring tables!

After brunch, we headed to Nana and Pop's house for an egg hunt. Linc is an expert egg hunter! He loves it! Beau likes the hunt too. He gets distracted with banging the eggs together, but he had lots of fun!

The Easter Bunny (Nana) hid a few monetary surprises in the eggs. Linc picked up on this right away and decided he should shake the eggs to determine if they were "keepers" or not! The ones that were quiet were generously given to Beau . . . he didn't find out until later that the "quiet" ones had dollars in them instead of change!

The Easter Bunny left a few fun things for everyone . . . Beau enjoyed his new book!

The boys were really interested in the alphabet puzzle. What a sweet picture of them together!

Thank you to Nana and Pops for a fun Easter holiday! Yummy food and fun gifts make us all happy!

We didn't make it to church early this year, even though we knew about the impending crowds. (Last year I had to fight with elbows to keep enough space for us on our normal pew!) We ended up on the next to last row in the balcony, but we all enjoyed the service. There was a video shown with Amazing Grace as the soundtrack. Lincoln was so excited and started to sing along . . . then the song stopped in he middle for people to talk . . . that made Lincoln really mad. He yelled out that the song was messed up and got a few laughs from our section. He does love to sing Amazing Grace! More pics to follow!
