happy easter!

it was henry's second easter, but i think it was more like his first since he could actually participate and enjoy the festivities like a big boy!  we spent the weekend with the oliviers in minnesota, so henry got to play with his aunties, uncle, and grampa and gran!

here we are dying easter eggs!  henry is coloring his egg, he loves to say "color" while he's working at it and often requests his "colors" sometimes throughout the day.  he did nibble on a few once at home...but i think we were able to cut him off before we had to worry about any colorful after-effects.... ;)  i don't know which is more fun for him, actually coloring with the crayons, or just playing with them by dumping them out of the box, putting them back in, and then dumping them out again...but coloring eggs was something new!
he was very interested in the dye though....which wasn't the easiest to keep him out of, so we had to get him his own cup of dye-free water that he was free to spill :)
faith writing on an egg with candle wax--a Ukranian tradition
gran molly's ukranian egg--melting the wax off to reveal the pretty design
tessa's starry egg
after he was done scribbling on his egg for a bit, henry thought it was time for a sample
and the egg eventually just ended up like this after a few hard knocks on the table :-)

and now the hunt!!
henry was a very serious egg searcher, as he is about most things new and exciting.  he's a no-nonsense kind of guy!
daddy helping out
and aunties helping too!
ooooh someone caught a smile!  haha --he really did enjoy hunting for the easter eggs
especially when he opened them up to find...
some yummy bunny gummies!
~hope you had a wonderful easter and let yourself indulge in a few chocolate bunnies!!!   (ps--more photos to come soon :)  )
