First of all, it had snowed today - big snowflakes - too bad they didn't show in the pictures! Maya and Victor colored eggs using everything they could find in the house - colored tissue paper , strawberries, onion, green tea...
I converted Maya's Lunette hat into an Easter bonnet, we hid lots and lots of eggs and after Maya and Zoe colored some more eggs (and Maya's hands) we finally started the hunt.
While the kids ran around for the eggs, the grown-ups kept warm around the fire with the music (they kept making up bunny songs). It was Carolyn's birthday too - Happy Birthday! - so she made some amazing pineapple punch. The party still continues, but I came in to warm up...The water in the bird bath was frozen solid...The sun came up a couple of times, starting our solar powered fountain and making me take away the eggs hidden there.
Carolyn gave some stuffed toys as rewards to the plucky egg gatherers - who, as far as I know are still opening their loot ( a lot of the eggs are plastic - filled with surprises). I am waiting with the jar of mayonnaise for the real ones...
They sang Happy Birthday to Carolyn, and she blew candles on cup cakes
