Easter

Happy Easter!
We had a great weekend. The kids were very excited for Easter. In fact, they actually had trouble going to sleep Friday night because they were so excited. We had our neighborhood Easter egg hunt, a fun party with Paul's family, dinner with my sister and her family, and our own celebrations. We also fit in dyeing Easter eggs and dipping chocolates! Now we are on day one of spring break! I am looking forward to a week without carpool, spelling words, and scouts!

Katie was a big help dipping chocolates. She just skipped the dipping part and went right for the chocolate.
This year I tried caramels. After one practice batch, I got the temperature right and we had caramels to dip. We even got fancy and wrapped pecans in caramel and made turtles!
We usually make a lot of hard boiled eggs- I know they will disappear since Rachel has been known to eat 4 eggs in a sitting.
We hope you had a wonderful Easter. We especially enjoyed the beautiful weather!
