Easter in the Dank House



We had a lot of fun this Easter.  Addie was just old enough to be fun (at Christmas she couldn't do too much).  The Easter Bunny spoiled the heck out of them.  He even went to camp!  When we got to camp there was a note from the Easter Bunny explaining that he hid plastic eggs in various parts of the camp yard for each kid.  Each kid had their own search area (not a single fight... that Easter Bunny is one smart cookie).  They found lots of candy and a couple of toys.  Addie let James have her candy, but she loved the animal crackers!  Below is our day in photos...

Addie with a "girl" car.  Now she has some of her very own.  James was really good about sharing, but some of his were pretty small.

James showing off his cars.

Jumping for joy after finding an egg!

Joel and James searching for eggs.  Addie didn't wake up until all the eggs and James' basket were found.
Addie and James checking out the stuff in her basket.  The Bunny left hers in the seat of her exersaucer instead of hiding it.  She doesn't even crawl yet!

A cute picture of Addison during her tea party with Jam.  The Bunny brought her a little tea set.  She tilts her head like this all the time, but its the first time I've got a picture of it.

James and Addie's tea party.

Addie likes the whites of the eggs.  She was sooooo not a fan of the yolks.  She actually threw them on the floor and cried!

James only likes the whites too.  No one in our family will eat the yolks so Indie got a few in her bowl.

Joel getting set to carve the prime rib at camp.  It was super yummy :)

Grampy and Addison waiting for dinner to be ready.

James being a "red english setter" because his shirt is red.

Grampy likes to give "appetisers."  Today it was animal crackers.  Here is Jam trying to figure out which animal he has.

Addie liked them very much!

Our family picture taken at the end of the day.  We had so much fun :-)

Videos of Egg Coloring

Below are some videos of our egg coloring.  One is of James coloring the first egg; one is of Addison trying to eat the paint roller; one is of all three men coloring eggs and Addie saying, "Dada."  Enjoy!






Easter Egg Coloring

Jam got to color the first egg.  He started out using all the colors, but by the end he was using mostly yellow.

Grandpa Dank helped.

Addison colored one egg (with dada's help)  She tried to eat the paint, and when everyone laughed she kept doing it.

Ad was excited about her egg.

Jam ended up with messy hands!

Our Home Make-over: Upstairs Edition

Here are a few pictures of our continuing construction.  Grampy is now working other jobs for a while.  The list of things for him to come back and do continues to grow.  I forgot that it uploads the pictures in reverse order so if you want to see them in order start at the bottom.



Grampy and James put in a new window

Our new bathroom floor

Addison and James help Grampy lay concrete board.

Addie, Joel, and James send the dishwasher on her maiden cycle.

Jam works on the cupboards before the dishwasher can go in.

James and Grampy working hard :)
