Arriving Holy Thursday evening at 7pm. Grandpa picked us up at airport.
Right away we walked out into beautiful weather, then we saw
Uncle Joey, Stacy and Halle Jo walking across the parking lot to say hi ~ what a welcome!
Good Friday ~ Hot Cross Buns and Easter Egg Dyeing!
I suppose it was wishful thinking to hope that the kids would sleep in (to catch up with the time difference); they headed right to Gramps and Grams room slightly surprising them at 5:45am.
Of course Grandma was ready to bound out of bed anyways
to share the job of forming little balls of dough into the traditional hot cross buns.
It hardly seemed liked fasting.
Then out the door the kids went ~ they had been waiting for this!
To the pond
Just the right size for each other.
The dyeing begins!
Uncle Shannon held up $5, 4-$1's for the 5 winning eggs.
In other words: be creative, take your time.
Why does this pic worry me?
Judging.....lots of creative eggs!
Who won first prize? Uncle Shannon himself! I say he deserved it for helping organize this mayhem!
They were a beautiful additional to Easter mornings' brunch!
to be continued .................
