followed by some backyard play (in shorts no less!) including the first annual dip into the water table



and an egg hunt put on by grandmother Easter Bunny


poor Tim was losing his pants


they didn't last very long




what better way to celebrate than with a little chocolate


As always, much fun was had by all

Easter egg decorating with the Petersons

A few days before Easter, we ventured out to the bucolic Levant Homestead (which is for sale, btw - spread the word!) for a wonderful morning of Easter egg decorating.

The boys got right into it like pros, having done the same thing a few days prior.


Boodle getting ready to "decorate" Easter eggs for the first time


Thankfully, he didn't notice that he had a plastic egg


Such concentration


Ready for the coloring to begin


Having a good time


Coloring a few eggs at once. What a pro!


Just in case anyone didn't figure out why the kids were stripped down to their undies


Nick took on the role as teacher, instructing the little kids on the finer points of egg coloring


Beautiful


Hard at Work


The final products


Hope you had a great Easter!

Visit with Nana & Pepere - March 2010

Nana & Pepere came for a visit just before Easter. Unfortunately, when the arrived, Nick was really sick... :( but thankfully, he recovered in a day or 2 and was able to get some good QT in. It was a great visit and much fun was had!
