Easter Morning

The Easter Bunny came!  The Easter Bunny is so smart...he guessed that Troy would like the EXACT same kind of chocolates that his Mommy and Daddy do :)

WOW...is this for me?

It's heavy!

These cheeks need filling (hardly!!)

How do I break into this bag of eggies?

I will try biting it (like I do with everything, and everyone, else!)

I will try ripping it open

hmmm....I've been outsmarted by this crinkly bag

that's okay...I'm pretty sure Daddy (with sleepy eyes) is going to open it soon anyway!

ahhhh....those coloured eggs mom tortured me with

they're for eating?

hey...

those eggs are yummy!

yes, my hair still stands on end

and, I have egg on my face

but, I'm really good at waving now!

This Easter thing is working out fine

Hey Dad....

Didn't you say you brought me something back from the Boeing store? (Daddy was just in Washington for two days to check out the Boeing plant and museum)

It's my own jet!

What goes in here?

Ready for take-off

Being nosey

Egg-citing

Today Troy and I coloured eggs!  Well, Troy watched (for awhile) and then I had to finish them...which is exactly how Daddy usually enjoys Easter egg-dying with me.  (Should have had a girl, I guess?)

Getting everything ready

Eggs are soaking

This is a bit like watching paint dry, mommy

Troy is kept at a "safe" distance - beyond little arm's length...from anything!

The traditional bright colours on white eggs

The same dyes on brown eggs are toned down (and lovely)

Troy much rather play with his "hopcha" bunny from Gramma Annie

Why is the purple dye always so disappointing?? 

Here is a comparison of the same dyes used on white and brown eggs.  The brown eggs make such a nice colour, plus they seem to hide all the imperfections much better!

The traditional basket

The modern bowl

Hippity Hoppity

Easter is on it's way!  Auntie Carolyn sent Troy a special Easter package including new Easter Jim Jams and hand-felted bunny and egg (yes, she made the bunny and egg!!)

Troy is still recovering from a cold, so excuse the runny (scratchy) nose

putting the bunny through quality control 

and the egg through the taste-test

and squish test

thorough inspection

Auntie C is so talented!

She even put my monogram on the egg!

Practicing my egg hunting

Thank you Auntie C for my pressies!!

Candid Camera

It is always interesting when I download the photos off the camera.  I usually find out what Daddy and Troy get up to!  Here is what I found today...some of them were still on there from Papa and Gramma's visit.

Papa is playing hide-and-seek...behind me!

Where's Papa?? 

Full of beans

Chatting up a storm

Morning reflections

Sharing a laugh with Papa

Sticking my finger on the camera lens (to match all the windows in mommy's house!)

Kickin' it in the jolly jumper in stylish flare pants

Riding the exersaucer

See mom...Daddy lets me do this!
