first Easter as our own little family

Ok so its not Easter yet, tomorrow is but we decided to dye eggs and make our own little basket. We took a trip to Walmart, good but bad idea. It was CRAZY! we bought dye and fixins for a cute little basket. While we boiled eggs we started making our basket. We got a yellow basket to share because it was a neutral color. Then we bought little plastic eggs and some candy to put inside. So we tried to make the basket look full and pretty using flowers as well as the eggs and the green and pink grass we bought but it just didnt work out to well. :) but we tried thats what counts.

Josh has NEVER dyed Easter eggs before. Can you believe that?! It was a lot of fun tho because he had no idea how to do any of it..i mean its not that complicated so it wasnt hard to figure it out but it was a riot. I started writing on an egg with the white crayon thing and he was like uh, what are you doing? That was pretty great. Heres some pictures :)

Josh thinks its awkward im documenting the event. Oh boy.

Then he smiled :)

Our basket
