After boiling the eggs on Saturday afternoon, we gathered around the table after dinner last night to dye them. This is the first year that all three kids really got into it which is so fun to watch. Here are Lia and Ron decorating their eggs before dyeing them.
Logan giving me his "Asian Eye" smile while decorating one of his eggs.
Ella basically sat in my lap the entire time and helped me color and dye eggs. Here is my baby girl checking out the Easter stickers that came with the egg coloring kit.

Logan hard at work.
Of all the eggs we decorated and dyed last night, I think that Ron's Minion egg won the prize for the coolest and most original!
The kids woke up this morning to find their Easter baskets waiting for them in the living room. Although it looks like Lia got a new, American Girl Doll for Easter, she definitely did not! The Easter Bunny had magically pierced her doll's ears and dressed her in a new outfit. In addition, she finally got a box to go with her Mckenna doll that she got for Christmas 2015.
Logan inspecting his loot while carrying his blanket in his mouth (one of his new, favorite things to do).
For some strange reason, Ella ran downstairs and took one look at her basket, and broke into tears. I have no idea why she then threw a tantrum on the floor before running back upstairs and hiding in her room.
Another shot of my tantrum-throwing-toddler with her Easter loot behind her.

A much happier and calmed down Ella showing off her new, Sleeping Beauty Barbie doll.
After a quick change into footless pajamas, Ella was able to try on her new princess slippers.

After an Easter breakfast and church, we drove up to Issaquah to spend the evening at the grandparents' house. We were blessed with pleasant weather that allowed the kids to do grandma's Easter Egg hunt outside in their beautiful yard. Here is Lia looking for some candy hidden in the tulip blossoms.
Ella working hard to find everything in her designated area.
Logan flashing me a smile from inside his flowerbed.

After all of the Easter egg hunting festivities were over, we came back inside to celebrate my dad's 78th birthday that was the day before. Here he is getting ready to blow out his candles! It was a great way to end this special day!
