Easter

This was Liam's first real Easter that he could really participate in and understand and he loved it. We dyed eggs with basic store bought dye. We used rubber bands and crayons and stickers to add interest. Aiden really loved making patterns with the bands; Liam loved coloring on the eggs with crayons. When the boys woke up on Easter morning there were plastic eggs hidden all over the front yard filled with candy and coins. After we came home from church they hunted for them and filled their baskets. We had to keep Aiden from finding them all and give Liam a chance to find a few. Liam was so cute. We would point one out, and he would squat down and look and look. Often we would have to point it out a second time before he would spot it and pick it up. He is going to have to learn fast if he wants to keep up with big brother next year! Liam's favorite part was eating the goodies inside of course! Grandma D had given me some old cake pans in the shape of an Easter egg, so Aiden and I thought it would be fun to bake and decorate an egg-shaped cake. We did and layered in our homemade strawberry jam in 4 layers. We had fun with that little project while the baby was napping, and it tasted great after dinner.
