Cookies, Eggs and a Bunny Too!

Dyeing eggs with Daddy.

Emme had fun stirring the egg with the dye

Livi had more fun eating then decorating

She loved decorating and sneaking some candy.

In prepartion for Easter we decided to do some fun activities. Monday we made and decorated sugar cookies. Emme loved it and Livi enjoyed eating the candy. Friday we dyed Easter eggs. Emme is at the age where she is enjoying doing different projects and wants to learn how to do them correctly. Livi just wants candy and to twirl. Livi attempted but after two eggs she was done. Emme worked till everything was done. She was excited to go delivery the cookies. She wanted to take some to her favorite Auntie Sarah. But settled for our neighbors the Spencers and their Grandparents
Saturday we went to two new (for us) egg hunts. We went to our neighborhood grocery store's. (They are wonderful they do all sorts of stuff through out the year) They had blocked off several rows for each age group. They had laid out prizes which were for each age. Livi got graham crackers, bags of fruit loops, a bunny, oranges and candy. Emme didn't grab as much because she spent more time looking back and smiling at Daddy. (He couldn't help her because she was grouped with older kids) She grabbed a bucket with shovel, marsh mellows, and some candy. They also got to meet the Easter bunny.
Then we went to Thanksgiving Point with Matt's parents for their Egg hunt. Honestly I wasn't too impressed. It was extremely crowded. The egg hunt had lots of eggs to grab but the contents were not that great. A clue should have been the sign in the zero to three year olds about choking hazards in the eggs. Everything was small and extremely cheap. They had other fun things if you wanted to wait in lines, which isn't a strong suit for toddlers and their pregnant mom. I think next year we will try Wheeler Farm's. We hear it is nicer and smaller.
