Saturday (Warning, long post, lots of pictures)

Saturday morning we took the kids to Britton's school for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. They had some activities going on while you waited for your age group to go gather eggs so we got Tattoo's. Shayna sporting her Little Mermaid Sunglasses. She wore these the whole time we were indoors, when we went outside to do the Egg Hunt she said they were to distracting so she took them off. I just had to laugh. She is so cute.







They had a cup cake walk for the kids too. They played this a million times. Every time you played you got a piece of candy. So they thought they were always winning.







Britton actually did win. Here he is with his cupcake.





Here is Shayna gathering her eggs. They had a rule that you could only run out and get three eggs. When everybody had their three eggs you could go back out and try to get whatever eggs were left. Shayna thought this was so much fun until the second time she went out. It was total chaos and everyone kept running into her, she hated it and started to cry. This picture is from the first time she went out (obviously).





Britton was able to gather 4 eggs the first time. The second time he went out he ran everywhere collecting the eggs. He got a ton and could care less who he was running into. It was so funny to watch.

At the end of the Egg Hunt they had a Easter Basket drawing. This is a picture of Tyler and the kids waiting. As you can see, Ty is less then enthused. It's not because all of the activities were total chaos and it's not because we had to sit there forever waiting for the drawing and never won. It is because I took his picture. Some day he will thank me for making sure he is in pictures with his kids.


We got home around noon. Tyler went with Chance to look into buying a new truck (for Chance). We decided we should make our traditional Easter Cookies, my brother and my Mom came over to help out.

Britton and Shayna rolling out the dough.



Bet ya can't guess how much flour I had to sweep up!

Here's the Clan decorating the cookies (minus myself)



And the final results.... We had so many cookies this year. It took us two hours just icing them. It was fun and they turned out cute.


When the cookies were done it was time to dye the eggs.

I love Shayna's idea of dying the eggs. She was getting impatient so she put all of her eggs into the dye at once. That's what I call efficient.

And here is the finished work. We only broke two eggs. Not bad!


After we got everything cleaned up, we headed over to my Parents house to meet up with Tyler and have dinner.
