Easter, etc

The day before Easter Tyler had off, so we went swimming at the pool, and then came back in and painted some easter eggs. I used to hate how you could never get the eggs really bright colors in the dye, even with vinegar and whatever... but I found the trick. LOL I used 2 tablets in each cup, because we only had 3 eggs to dye that way anyway. Who cares that one was blue and one was green, or one was yellow and the other was orange...? I thought it turned out nicely! So, it was fun, and you can't have Easter without coloring eggs, right?

On Easter day we were invited to Janice's parent's house. It was so fun, we were SO glad they invited us! Here we are, just chatting out on the patio, the weather was so beautiful. This is Shelley and Janice, and some of Janice's relatives.

They have a fun tradition of blindfolding you, and spinning you around and then you have to try and cut an easter egg in half with a knife. And the winner is the person that gets closest to the middle of the egg. Here is Janice spinning her mom Beverly around.

And here she is trying to cut the egg.

Here's Shelley putting the blindfold on Janice. It was so funny, Janice cut the egg right in the middle, and one of the halves went rolling off the table, and with the blindfold still on, she caught it. So, none of us would have realized what that meant, but she thought she was busted, so she pulled off the blindfold and shouted "I cheated! Oh no!" hahahahahah!

Some people were more successful than others. I did not hit the egg at all. :(

This was a cute picture from Passover that I forgot to put up. This is me and my cousin Jessica.

The day before Easter, we also went to dinner at Shelley's house to celebrate Aunt Bobbie's birthday. (Aunt Bobbie is my Grandma's sister, so she's my mom's aunt, and she is Shelley's mom)

And since Janice and I were both taking pictures, we weren't in either of the table pics, so I had Tyler take this one of us, to properly document who all was there. :)
