Happy Easter everybody!! Easter is a great holiday in the Hynes house for lots of reasons. It is a great time to remember our Savior, and teach our kids about Him, and it is a great reason to do very fun things with all of our family. We get to spread the love out over two days. On Saturday, we had a HUGE Easter egg hunt at a friends's house (she hides 3000 eggs!!).
Then it was straight back home for brunch ,dyed eggs, hunted eggs, and Easter Fish with the Wilsons and Emily and Jason.
The egg dying was kind of a fiasco, but like most fiascos, it turned out better than if it had been smooth sailing. We used brown eggs, and the dye was all bubbly and weird.
But, look how pretty they turned out!
After the dying, it was off for the hunt! We plant the eggs in our front yard and at the park.
The grown-ups have fun watching (how crazy that Joy is in with the grown ups now! I think this is the first year she didn't hunt...kinda sad and exciting at the same time.)
What was Archie doing during the hunt? Poor little guy was just stuck inside chained to his bouncer; next year Archie!
After the hunt comes the loot-sorting!
Hee hee, I snuck some pistachios into some eggs...I'm my Father's daughter after all.
Then it was Easter Fishing time! Mike took some great pictures while I stayed downstairs to help the fish (Archie was helping out too. Apparently the fish doesn't mind if babies see him. No kids though! They've been trying to catch him for years).
PURE JOY on their faces.
On Sunday, we headed to Harmony's and Had Abogi's house for another egg hunt and Easter dinner.
