Well, despite the extremely cold temperatures and snow, we did make it to an Easter egg hunt today. It was short and sweet (after waiting a long 15 minutes for it to begin), but Sean loved every second of it.
Next year, Luke will be out there hunting too, but this year he had the best spot of all...snuggled inside a warm blanket in the stroller.
Each year, I am inspired by the fabulous Joanna with her amazing egg dying. We just did ours this afternoon and had lots of fun.
Many blessings to you all this Easter!
YEAH! SO happy you got to go!
I usually take lots of egg dying pics but today, I skipped it....now I'm wishing I hadn't :P
Happy Easter Melissa!!

Totally cute, M! Brrrrrrr! It looks like a cold hunt - but I guess that makes for vibrant eggs against the white snow!

How fun! Sean looks like he's having a blast, and Luke looks so warm and toasty! I'd want to sit where he was sitting :)
We usually have a easter egghunt right in our own yard...but I think I'll hid all the eggs within the house tonight. Too cold to be outside!
Happy Easter!

that is so cool. Cold, actually. I can not even imagine. It got up to 85 today, in the RV!!! And today was cooler than it has been.
We're outside right now{can't get a decent signal inside for some reason} chillin' in shorts and t's at 7 pm. We are just on totally opposite spectrums, I guess. I'll get my dose of nasty weather soon, we're headed for Seattle in two weeks!!
Your eggs are incredibly vibrant. Mine literally pale in comparison. We haven't done 'em yet this year, it's on the agenda for this evening when Sean gets home from work.
I'll stop rambling now, Happy Easter!! Hope tomorrow is a little warmer for ya.

Okay your pictures make my Egg Hunt look like a heat wave!!! I was complaining the whole time because I was freezing because it was in the 40/50's. Wow - you must have really been freezing! Brrr...makes me cold right now!
I love that egg shot. I want to do a pic like that! We are dying eggs this week, just couldn't get to it. LOL

I suppose I probably shouldn't say that I wore short sleeves on Easter Sunday out in California....
The dye colors look very rich and vibrant! Lemon juice! Hmmmm.
