Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter weekend, filled with lots of family time and fun Easter traditions. The night before Easter before heading off to bed the boys dyed Easter eggs. We had such a good time! The boys really worked hard on their eggs -- Nick drawing as Jack put it "abstract" on his eggs, and Jack writing his name, his brothers names, and Happy Easter on his!!!
The boys working hard on their Easter eggs!
Daddy and the boys checking on the color of the egg -- Jack wanted to leave the eggs in the dye for a really long time, but Nick was less patient and wanted them out right away!
The boys and our wonderfully beautiful, and most certainly colorful Easter eggs!!!
You did a great job boys!!

In the morning the boys were so excited to hunt for their Easter baskets!!! Nick wasn't really sure what "hunting" for them meant -- but he followed Jack around looking for them. Jack did a great job finding both of their baskets. Nick was so excited when Jack found his basket for him that he danced around and said "oh thank you Jackie so much!"


Nick checking out the things in his basket!
Jack finally found his basket (in the bathtub) and was so excited to see all the "cool things" that were inside it!!!

We had our Easter egg hunt outside in the warm California sunshine (such a difference from the snow falling in Berlin last year)!! It was really warm and in fact so warm that even some of our chocolate that we found in our eggs had melted!!! I don't remember the last time that has happened!!!


The boys wore their new Easter shirts I bought them -- and I must say, they looked really cute!!!
Jack finding one of the many Easter eggs that were in our yard!!!
Nick had a blast finding the eggs and putting them into his basket!!!
Later on in the afternoon, the boys got out their bubbles and had a blast blowing bubbles.............
And then when Daddy said he would blow the bubbles, the boys loved running around the yard chasing after and popping the bubbles!!!
We hope that you all had a wonderful weekend!!!

Looks like a great Easter! The pictures of the boys are great. And your family pic is another good one--you're going to have a tough time figuring out a Christmas card this year. :)

Something our friends do with bubbles is swat them with a fly swatter....I can't wait to try that with John. I wonder if your boys would like that?
