Howe's Life: Easter 2014

So stoked on her eggs!

Madeline was actually interested in coloring eggs this year. She got some easter egg coloring and glitter and stamps kits from my mom a few weeks before the holiday and spent every weekend asking me to let her "do the eggs!" Madi got her wish on Master's Sunday (which wasn't on Easter for once) when we all trooped over to the Johnson house so the boys could watch the golf together. I am sure Matt was hoping for some family-free time, but I wasn't willing to give him a Sunday away from us. We brought Madeline's egg kits and a dozen hard-boiled eggs with us. Madi had a fabulous time dying the eggs, and loved the glitter. The stamps were kind of a mess, but I might try them with regular stamp pads next year. I am loving that Madeline is so into doing these activities now, I am looking forward to the tradition of egg dying for years to come!

Madeline got to participate in multiple Easter egg hunts this year! She had a practice run at school on Friday (with a visit from the Easter bunny), a great time snatching up eggs from the field at the San Clemente Easter Egg-stravaganza, and finally hit up the Johnson's for an egg hunt with the whole Johnson and Lam crew.She has gotten very good at finding eggs and putting them in her basket. Next year she may be ready for some hidden eggs instead of the fairly easy to see eggs. Madi was especially excited to get an egg with her name on it and a special present inside from Aunt Alyson. Brilliant idea! Stamps are a kid's best friend. Ella's egg had a new pacifier with a pacifier clip. I didn't have one since Madeline did not really use a pacifier as a baby, but it has been a fabulous thing to have with Ella. Thanks Alyson!
