Our Easter


We had a wonderful, sunny, warm Easter this year. The first Easter in a long time without snow outside. This year we drove from NC to Ohio to spend the holiday weekend with Neal's Aunt Jessi and soon to be Uncle Wes (Congratulations to on their engagement!)

I believe the most fun part of the whole weekend was decorating eggs on Saturday night. I had no idea how much fun Neal would have with the egg decorating. My favorite part was watching Neal drop the eggs in the dye (not very gently), stirring them around and then pulling them out and saying "oh no" as he noticed all the cracks (he had no idea he had made these cracks by dropping them - he was just very worried that they were cracked).


After dying 18 eggs and wanting to dye more I had to tell Neal he had to stop. We then moved on to coloring the dyed eyes with markers and adding stickers.


Neal got almost as much dye on himself as he did on the eggs. It took several washings to get all the dye off of his hands and chest.



Tyler even got creative and came up with a few of his own designs...


It was a wonderful weekend with family and friends enjoying food, fun and rejoicing in the remembrance of Christ's sacrifice for us.
