Today was a very busy, very Easter filled family day. The girls were up VERY bright and early. After taking some time to relax and actually wake up, we had ourselves a big breakfast, got ready, and were off on our first adventure. Mall of America, to meet the Easter Bunny! The girls have always done well with Santa and the Easter Bunny, so I was interested to see how it would go this year. Olivia was very into it. She ran right up to him to give him a big hug. Amelia was more nervous, she gave in and sat next to him, but did not offer up any smiles. LOL. We still got a couple shots though.
After wandering the mall for a while, we headed home for some lunch and naps. While the girls napped, I ran to pick up some final egg dying and cooking making supplies, then quickly got my workout in before starting up our evening activities.
I boiled our eggs and gathered all of our supplies. The girls woke up from their nap, ate some dinner and we got to work. We dyed our eggs in a variety of fun ways...your standard "dip in the cup" colors, the egg spinner, tye-dyed with a paper towel, and my newest experiment, silk-dyed. It was fun, the girls had a blast! It gets better every year when the girls actually get into it and can do things. Next up, we baked our Easter cookies. I wanted to do lots of fun shapes, but it just wasn't working out, and it was getting late, so we just went with regular old round cookies. Still delicious, obviously :)
It was already past bedtime when we finally finished up our Easter fun, so the girls took a quick bath, and off they went. Christian's friend from work stopped over, needing his help with some car stuff again, so I cuddled up with the DVR while he did that. Nice relaxing night after a hectic, fun filled day :)
Here are some pictures from our day!
