Easter 2011

This is the first year we attempted to dye eggs. Both Greg and I despise hard boiled eggs but I made them anyway for the sake of being a good mom. And Meredith was really excited about it.

Decked out in her oh-so-holiday-appropriate santa jammies.
She finished them off with some stickers.
Because Greg and I don't like hard boiled eggs, Meredith has never tried one. She was so excited about having one for breakfast the next day. I really think she thought they were candy because as soon as Greg cracked open the shell and gave it to her, she was scared of it and didn't touch it. So, we gave the rest of the eggs to Juana.

Easter morning, she woke up to a basket full of candy and goodies. And of course Peeps. She loves her Peeps.
And how did the Easter Bunny know that Meredith wanted seven Disney princess dolls with removable crowns and shoes?????

We headed down to Peter and Phyllis' house for Easter lunch.
My cousin Nate, his wife Jen, and their two boys Sam and Matthew were visiting from Chicago. Mer and Sam seemed to get along great.
Then we headed outside for an Easter Egg hunt since the weather was nice. Both Meredith and Sam got to look for eggs. This weirdo was told to look for bumpy brown eggs over by where the dog was chained up. Hmmmm...wonder why.
Mer was looking for purple eggs.
She had a blast.
Sam had a great time too.
She played some ball with daddy and her uncle Chris.
The ladies gossiped.
And we ended the day by blowing some bubbles!
