Easter!


"easter bonnet"





















Daddy likes to do these bright dyed eggs
















Mama and Toucie tried some eggs dyed with onion skins
















pretty golden eggs!


















We threw some yarn in to make the most of the leftover dye
















Hmmmm...why not?!
















Onion skin dye...the darker yarn was soaked longer





















Oooh! pretty variegation from the commercial egg dyes
















Visiting family for an egg hunt
















Naya and Sodie too worn out from college life to hunt eggs
















Mmmm...beet greens for supper
















Salad and pizza, too (carmelized onions and kalamata olives)
















Bunny bread :)

Easter out-takes...

















The bunny cake...it stuck to the pan a bit and looked rather mangey, but was delicious, nonetheless.






















The dress I'd been saving for Toucie to wear for Easter... silk gingham with a sweet petticoat, snapped up at a consignment sale for $4 back in the deep of winter. She's been waiting to wear this for months...we've been saving it especially for Easter.

















What she actually wore on Easter Sunday....a polyester "gypsy" costume from her dress-up basket accessorized with a wolf-head/hat ...all thoughts of silk dress out the window. But that wolf head is pretty cool.

















Egg hunt with family. Big kids hid eggs for the little kids. Three children set off in search for 3 dozen eggs...


















...all the kids came back...all the eggs did not.


















What happened to the eggs that were brought home safely. (You may know by now, that virtually every celebration day ends in silly shenanigans around here. Although the eggs in this photo were harmed, they were not sound, fresh, "keeper" eggs, so we sacrificed them for the sake of some good fun)
