Easter

For Easter, we had a couple of friend over for egg dying and easter hunt the next morning. The girls had fun coloring eggs, the moms had fun hiding them, and the dads jumped in the pool (sorry any neighbors who may have been woken at midnight).

Russell grilled racks of lamb - his new speciality! Yum. Coming to a cook out near you - that will be an oft-repeated dish.

Liz showed the girls how to color on their eggs with crayons and leave decorations on the eggs after they were dipped in dye.

Plenty of eggs for each of the girls to dye. Lyra was a bit worried that the Easter Bunny would hide her eggs and then the other girls would find them. So, we had to make sure that she put her name on the 3 or 4 that she'd like to make sure she kept.
Peter always enjoys being part of the action. Here he is curled up near the step up into the dining room area.

And us! Unfortunately, no pictures of the egg hunt. At 6am, I was woefully unprepared for pictures. Needless to say the girls were running everywhere in search of their goodies.

Later, when everyone went home, I know that some didn't take their fair share of the eggs. We made two batches of egg salad plus several mornings and lunches with boiled eggs. I'm sure we had at least 2 dozen eggs from the morning.
