dyeing, hunting, and baking

we started our morning with a tradition that i love...

emma was so excited about dyeing her eggs.

i have great memories of easter egg dyeing. my dad and i were the egg dyeing champs.

i held back this year, and let miss emma run with it.

we were all still sporting our pj's, except for miss emma. she insists on putting her "good morning clothes" on just as soon as she gets up.

we had a special treat for the weekend. grand-dad and nana were visiting us!

here's the first batch of miss emma's product line...

and buddy. i could just eat him with a spoon. his lashes are just plain amazing.

he's a busy, busy boy these days.

emma dyed her fair share of yellow eggs. yellow is still her favorite.

and i'm thinking that our kit came pinkless. looks like somebody at PAAS might have lost their job...ha!

she was in heaven.

buddy's not too busy yet. we're still working on the whole walking thing.

so sweet.

and score! after dyeing, we headed to the front yard for the big hunt.

i love an egg hunt too. the penguin was our golden egg. miss emma found it, with a little help from her momma. wink. wink.

and buddy enjoyed just sitting in the grass and opening his eggs...

he's still my little boy blue.

and he still has curly hair.

and we all love him.

here are our two little turkeys. i love them both so so much.

and here are my two favorite shots of buddy...

i love baby feet.

and, i love them too.

carson's naptime = cookie baking time for the rest of us.

it started out just me and my memms.

but after emma convinced her daddy that he was, "missing the party," he joined in too.

grand-dad & nana even got in on the cookie baking.

dinner was out, which was a special treat...

it was a fun, family day.
