Easter!!

This Easter was great! Last year Maddox was only a little over two months old, so we couldn't really do much. This year, though, was another story. The Friday before Easter we dyed Easter eggs for the first time as a family. It was tons of fun. I boiled 11 eggs, which was too many because it took forever to dye them. Maddox kept trying to eat the eggs and break them and Paul was trying to make the weirdest looking eggs. It was quite funny.Towards the end Maddox got a hold of the cup holding the purple dye and spilt it all over the table. Thank goodness I had a whole roll of paper towels next to me. I meant to take a picture of the finished product, but forgot and ended up peeling them all for Easter breakfast. Oh well.
On Easter Sunday Paul and Maddox woke up to Easter baskets full of candy and other things. One of the things Maddox received in his basket was a bubble gun. Paul had to work it for him, but Maddox loved chasing and popping the bubbles. Later in the evening we took Maddox out to the back yard for an egg hunt. He loved it and did very well finding the eggs and putting them in his basket. A lot of the time he would open the eggs and try to stuff all the jelly beans in his mouth. It was so much fun and I am excited for all the years to come.
