The Petersen Family: Easter

We had a great Easter. Saturday morning we boiled three dozen eggs to color. I'm not gonna lie, the egg coloring experiment was not the fun, family activity I was expecting. Addy had went to bed WAY too late and woke up before six, and was in desperate need for a nap. She was very emotional when anything did not go her way. And then there is Hailey Bug , who tries to help Addy a little too much, which frustrates Addy. Then there was lots of colored water spilling on my freshly mopped floor. So between the mess, the bossiness, and the emotional two year old, I am glad we will not be coloring eggs for another year! Hailey woke up early and came in our room whispering "I saw two Easter baskets". I told her she had to wait, but then felt bad about two seconds later, because I knew how excited she was to check out her basket. She was SO happy checking out her basket and seeing what the Easter Bunny brought her. Addy woke up about thirty minutes later, and was SUPER excited too. This was Addy's first Easter where she actually understood what was going on. The girls ate a small breakfast, and then we let them dig into some candy. Later, Hailey crashed, I think from a sugar high, she was exhausted. After a relaxing morning, we went to church to hear cousin Reagan sing in the choir, it was very pretty! Later that afternoon we had a Petersen get together for Grandma Lois' birthday & Easter. We grilled burgers and hot dogs, not very Easter dinner "ish" but easy! The kids had an Easter egg hunt and played, and Grandpa even got to come! All in all it was a great Easter!
