The kids woke up this morning to find their Easter baskets waiting, full of breakfast candy! Ok, sure, the candy wasn't really for breakfast, but it's what they ended up wanting to eat so we went with it.
While in Houston we found these confetti eggs, which we seem to only find in Texas. We picked some up and snuck them into the Easter baskets. Britton loved making them explode all over her, and Barrett didn't seem so sure that he should be breaking the eggs. He got over that quickly when he saw all of the confetti!
When Memaw and PawPaw came over we started the Easter egg hunt. Britton and Barrett were on it! They found every egg, and Britton led Barrett to a few straggler eggs, since her basket was full.
Then it was time for dyeing eggs! Memaw saw a new technique for making hard-boiled eggs, which involves baking them instead of boiling them. We tried it out and it worked! I knew we would be having deviled eggs with Easter dinner, so Britton dyed those eggs. She loved mixing up the colors!
Poor Barrett didn't make any photos because he was outside with the hubs and PawPaw while us ladies were inside baking (oh, that sounds so 1950s!). Britton and Memaw make a bunny cake every year - it's their tradition, and they both love it. So they had another success this year, and even switched it up a little by using Peeps as the ears. And it was delicious!
