This Easter was a lot of fun for Amelia, as well as us, because it was the first year we dyed eggs and had a real egg hunt for her. To prepare ourselves for egg dying, we set up our black card table on the grass in the backyard. Then we all changed into either old clothes or black clothes, got the dyes ready and grabbed a bunch of rags, which came in very handy when Amelia knocked over the blue dye cup. She did however have a lot of fun putting the eggs in the dye cups and seeing the results. Of course, we can't get her to come within a mile of actually eating an egg regardless of the way it is cooked.For Easter Sunday, she was so excited with how pretty she looked in her new Easter dress and new shoes. She dove into her Easter baskets and we are still dealing with the candy issue. After the baskets, I "hid" over 50 plastic eggs in the backyard. Last year we had nothing 
but dirt back there so at least this year there were a few place to put eggs next to and behind. Amelia got a kick out of looking for the eggs but did not get the idea that her one basket would not hold all the eggs she was finding. We kept having to go behind her and discreetly pick up the eggs that had fallen out and hold on to them to take inside while at the same time trying to keep Sadie from biting the eggs and eating the gummy bears inside. All in all, we missed being with our families but we had a fun Easter together.
