Easter Eggs

Tanis, my mother-in-law, came by yesterday to dye eggs with us! She wasn't even feeling that great :/ It was so nice of her to still come out to us and we really appreciated it. And she brought like 2 dozen hard-boiled eggs!

Measuring out the vinegar to prepare the dyes.

Some of our colorful dyes.

Some of our colorful finished eggs :) Tanis brought a neat little kit where we could tie-dye some of them.

Our personalized eggs. I didn't realize it when I was doing it, but Trent thinks mine ended up looking like a Jamaican egg, which is funny because that's where we went on our honeymoon about 3 years ago.

Thank you Tanis for providing all of the eggs and fun :)

My mom gets back from Spain tomorrow and she knew Amber would be a little disappointed about not getting her usual Easter basket, so she left it with us as a little surprise.

She also asked us to set up a little Easter egg hunt for Amber. She's 14 by the way..haha. No, I'm not making fun! I participated in an Easter egg hunt until I left for college (Trent was shocked to learn that today!), but I had all of my sisters searching with me. It was kind of funny to see Amber searching all by herself. Poor girl is practically an only child ;)

Amber searching. She had an audience.

Some of them may have been a little obvious..haha

Got this picture for you Mom!

We had a nice Easter. Last night we got to attend the Mesa Easter Pageant. I was so glad we could do this because I had a rough week and didn't really feel like I was in the true Easter spirit. It was beautiful.

I know Christ gave His life for us so that we may live again. And for that I am eternally grateful. I know He lives!
