Return of the dyed eggs

Happy Easter everyone!

We had a fun time dyeing eggs again last night. Doug had a fun time experimenting with Elemers glue this time (his is the one with the spots on it). Yesterday we also had a fun time at Grandma Ivins' Easter Party. They always do a fun hunt but Sophie didn't quite get it. She still had a fun time.

Last night as we were getting ready to dye eggs I told Sophia we had to get the house cleaned up before we could dye eggs. She then said, "Mom, I have an egg problem. I need to color eggs." Then as we were getting ready for bed we told her she needed to go to sleep because the Easter Bunny was going to come and bring her a basket with toys and candy. She then immediately burst into tears and said, "Not the Easter Bunny! No not him!" She kept asking for Grandpa Wilkins to comfort her and she absolutely would not set a foot in her room to go to sleep. We finally had to let her fall asleep in our bed because she was so afraid of the Easter Bunny. Before she fell asleep we read a little bit of the Easter story from the scriptures and talked about how Jesus was resurrected because he loves us. We then asked Sophia why she loves Jesus and she said, "because he loves me." Well said.

This morning she found her basket on the couch (I wanted to put it in her room for her to find in the morning but I was afraid she'd find it in the middle of the night and freak out that the Easter Bunny had been there so we decided the couch was a better idea) and gasped and said, "Ah! A surprise!" She then kept pulling everything out of her basket while saying, "look at what the Bunny Easter brought me!".

Here's a pic of a cake I made showing the Bunny Easter himself!


Finally, here's a few cute ones of my cute ones in their matchies!
