an egg-tastic Easter

We had an egg dying trifecta this Easter as we ended up dying eggs twice at our house because the first time was a little, um, challenging for me to allow Bergen to have creative control over the eggs. Bergen had complete artistic oversight on batch 2. He also got to dye a bunch of eggs at Grandma Peg's house. . . so by the end of the week he had dyed about 3 dozen eggs! So, if anyone feels like a hard boiled egg (or two or three. . .), please feel free to stop over any time!

Bergen absolutely LOVES hunting for the eggs that the Easter Bunny hides. The bunny left fun things in the eggs - some jelly beans, Swedish fish, and mini Cadbury eggs. The bunny also left "golden" pennies - as Bergen calls them.

After church we went to brunch at the Kenfield's where the Easter Bunny had found all the eggs they made at Grandma Peg's and hid them around the house! We had a wonderful traditional Easter meal and had a fabulous bunny cake for dessert thanks to Grandma Peg and Aunt Megan.

After heading home for a bit so Annika (and Lars!) could nap, we went to the Leafblad's. Bergen hunted for eggs and then we had a wonderful Easter dinner together. We ended the day by watching hilarious, and precious, twenty-year old home videos and plan to watch more together soon. Thanks Grandpa Dan for all that time you spent behind the camera!

Our Easter fun has continued all week as Bergen loves playing "Easter Egg Hunt" with Mom and Annika. We take turns hiding the eggs for each other - although Bergen can't keep himself from running around and showing me where he hid all the eggs when it's my turn to find them. We've had a wonderful Easter and feel truly blessed.
