Happy Easter

We went to my parents house this year for Easter. We had a great, but super busy weekend with them! The weather was perfect all weekend as well!

On Saturday morning, we dyed eggs. This was Brayden's first experience and I thought he was too young but Grammy insisted and I think he had a really good time. We put a cheap shower curtain liner down on the floor & then covered Brayden in an old shirt. Luckily, we didn't make too much of a mess, except for one little incident where Brayden dropped an egg & it hit the blue dye which then splashed all over my dad! His legs were COVERED in blue egg dye! It was rather funny!

The first egg goes in the dye!

Then it was outside to hunt eggs (plastic ones that is). Apparently, Brayden got the hang of hunting eggs at his daycare Easter Egg hunt because we kept having to hide them in harder & harder places!

I found another one!
This is what happens when Brayden is done hunting eggs!

Miss Elaine also came over for the morning & brought Brayden a gift! He is now the very proud owner of his very own lawn mower! When we went to visit our friends a few weeks ago, he pushed their lawn mower around for about 20 minutes straight...now he has his own! Thank you Miss Elaine!!
Grammy also made egg shaped cupcakes. Brayden definitly enjoyed his! Please excuse the slightly drunk look on his face.

On Sunday morning, Brayden got to play with the real eggs for a few minutes.
He really didn't like the grass in his Easter basket.

He is so cute when he is dressed up!
