Easter Activities

The past few days have been filled with Easter activities. Yesterday we went to an Egg Hunt and of course the kids had a ball. Stella took off like a shot and was in heaven trying to race everyone to pick up the eggs. Porter is much more "cool" and meandered around picking up eggs at his own pace.

This morning we colored Easter eggs. Porter only lasted 3 eggs before he became bored and wandered away. Stella enjoyed it. We have 2 more Egg coloring kits, so we may do more later in the week....we'll see!

Creating their masterpieces

Both of them deep in thought


3 of the eggs broke during the process, so we ended up with 9 beautiful eggs! :)

Friday I took them to the mall to see the Easter Bunny and ride the Easter Train. Porter didn't want to sit in the bunny's lap, so no photo of him.

Porter wanted me to ride the train with him both times we rode, so I didn't get a pic of Stella, but here is Mr. Cheesy on the train!!

And a trip to the mall is not complete without stopping at Auntie Ann's for cinnamon sugar sticks for the kids. They are so good, but SOOOOOOOOO messy! This picture does not even begin to show you how covered Porter was in cinnamon and sugar! :)

Wow!! I love the Easter eggs!! They created quite the masterpiece!!! I'm surprised that S would take off so quickly at the egg hunt. Sounds like you've had some fun outings. Anxious for them to go to the egg hunt here in MA.

great pictures! I believe we will dye our eggs tomorrow. Love Porter's cheesy smile! Stella looks like she had a great time dying eggs.

You are a nicer mommy than I am - Grant has only had the cinn/sugar sticks once, and that's because I didn't buy them :) We always go to Auntie Anne's, but we get the salted ones. Cute pictures, reminds me that we need to dye eggs this week!

Their eggs turned out great. Love Stella's serious look while she's hard at work. Bummer they had to be in winter coats & hats for the egg hunt!

What fun! The Easter eggs are very cute...Stella and Porter did a great job! Hopefully the weather will warm up a bit for next weekend's Easter egg hunts!

Looks like you guys had such a fun time. Wish we could have been there to share the moment. I have a picture of last year? when I took Porter on the train ride at the mall. He did not like the Easter bunny
