then there's Easter... and Abby's birthday-- on the same day!

Dan's family came the Friday before Easter. We spent the Saturday having fun in the kitchen making all sorts of things. And in the evening we celebrated Abby's THIRD (that's right 0-3) birthday. I can't believe she's that old!!

Here's some pictures of the Easter eggs we dyed. I ended up blowing out 5 1/2 dozen eggs and dying them with natural dye. Some worked out, some didn't. If i remember right, the blueberries, beets, and spinach worked best. the rest i had to add food colouring to work.



Here's some of the egg hunt:
