On Palm Sunday we celebrated Easter early with Jimmy's family and Laura. The day went just perfect - we dyed eggs, hid plastic eggs, had a dinner together and basically had a wonderful day. The girls were so funny when we dyed the eggs. Lily kept saying she didn't want to dye eggs (best when read with a very whiny voice) and I said, you don't want to make the eggs different colors? Then she stopped and said OH! Yes! Poor thing had no idea what I was talking about. Then each girl had a cup with dye and Izzy dropped her egg in, stared down at the egg and said so seriously "dye dye dye" I had used a crayon and put their initial on each one so when the eggs came out they had their letter in white so the girls were very impressed by the magic eggs that knew the letter of their name. The egg hunt was also a hoot - we had one hunt inside and they were such perfect little angels - giving each other their favorite colored eggs, showing each other where eggs were - it was too sweet. Then we had a hunt outside. Izzy and Audrey spotted the first egg at the same time and took out running. Izzy got there first and grabbed up the egg and Audrey let out a scream that neighbors a block away heard. She was heartbroken! Then Maranda showed her there was another one right behind her and the screams and tears stopped immediately and she ran for it. It was a great day.
