Opposites?

The actual task was to pick jammies...Emily came back with a fancy dress, and Ellen came back as Buzz Lightyear. Sillies.

Coloring Eggs

We only used five colors to dye eggs...

...because when I put the tablets in the bowls, Ellen grabbed and ate the yellow one. I guess they do sort of look like smarties. (I'm making her stick her tongue out--she's not gagging.)

She had also had a little chocolate earlier in the day.

Emily's rainbow of eggs

Ellen's eggs...were...all orange.

Easter baskets

I didn't get a ton of great pictures, but you get the idea.

Emily has been talking about wanting a chocolate bunny for a long time, and was THRILLED that the Easter bunny brought her one.

Edible Easter baskets

Last weekend, while Daddy & Emily ran errands, Ellen helped me make Easter treats for her Sunday School class.

Tinkerbell helped a little, too.

Maeby was WORN OUT from playing with all of the kids.

More party pics

Proof that Joel was there. And I got to hold him.

Do you know how skilled you have to be to have ZERO kids looking at the camera?
