Easter at The Veltman's

On Saturday, the night before Easter we dyed eggs, baked easter mini-Minnie cookies, and made bleach-pen shirts (or tried to)! Turns out that to correct bleach a shirt, it must be 100% cotton! Live and Learn, Better luck next time!

We (Me and Brooklyn, Richard's Parents, Carissa, and Nicki -Carrisa's Boyfriend) went to church on Saturday night!
We came back from church and dyed eggs, and finished our bleach-pen shirts.


 Brooklyn was so excited to dye eggs for the first time.
 Unfortunately, every egg she touched she broke. We had more eggs with cracks or crushed, than not.
 Here is our final result!
 The next morning, Brooklyn found the Easter basket that the Easter Bunny left. We then went outside and found eggs left y the Easter Bunny.





 That afternoon, we had lunch at the Veltman's and had an Easter Egg hunt and Confetti Egg War!

 Before the egg hunt, Brooklyn found an caterpillar! We had recently been reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar". SHe was so excited to see a real caterpillar.


 We headed outside and let the festities begin!



 Some people (Vanessa) gave up looking for eggs!

After we counted all the eggs, each person received one carton of confetti eggs and were told the only rule is you must break the egg in your hand and not on the person!


 Some people (Richard and Devin) acted like it was war, rather than a game!
