I've been in a bit of a creative funk these last couple of days. It usually happens after a holiday or another major event that takes a lot of brain power and energy. Nonetheless, I pushed through and edited the photos from last Saturday's Easter celebration so I could finally blog about them.
First, some details. Cousin Noreen sent this awesome cookie jar filled with goodies. He presided over the festivities, so it was almost like having her and Nick here with us. :)
I got this colorful candy from the dollar store. It's made by Ferrara Pan, the company that brought us Lemonheads, Red Hots and Boston Baked Beans. Lauren and I quite like it, but Mark thinks they taste like rubber.
I picked up this colorful Easter egg wreath last year at Target. I didn't put it over the mantel because, as with Christmas, I didn't want to move the hydrangea wreath. No matter - I like it better hanging like this.
On to the festivities. First, we held our annual backyard egg hunt. Here's Mr. Scott and Mark getting ready to hide the eggs. Hmm...this photo needs a little...something...
That's better.
Somehow, we convinced Lauren and Lauren to stop running for the eggs and pose together for a pre-hunt photo.
Lauren G. snags an egg from high above the play set.
Sunshine girls happy after the hunt.
No wonder - here's just a sample of the booty that they collected.
Next, it was time to dye eggs.
Thankfully, I had Aunt Phyllis, Mel C and Miss Beth prepare the dye. If I did it, I'd end up pouring vinegar on the pink tablet and the wax crayon would surely get broken.
Need I remind everyone (as I do every year) that my family comes from a long line of egg dying experts. Here's Grandma Bruno showing the girls how it's done.
And here's the finished product. I wonder who made the egg on the left?
