Easter Fun

4/6/2015

This is the first year that we've done any kind of Easter-related activities. In the past I avoided doing anything  because we don't celebrate the actual reason for Easter and I didn't want to put too much emphasis on the consumer-related aspect. But this year I said fuck it and we just did some fun stuff and ate too many Reese's peanut butter eggs. 

Egg dying went pretty well. Besides Ruby slam dunking the eggs into the containers of dye, her dipping her hands into the dye and then waving her hands around. My friend Kelly brought some cool egg tattoos so our eggs were bad ass. 
We hid the eggs we dyed as well (I hate the plastic eggs). I thought we'd hidden them in such a manner that she'd still find them pretty easily but we ended up hinting and helping her a lot. She took the hardest route possible to get the egg hidden in the grass underneath the branches. All she really needed to do was reach in and grab it. Instead she decided she needed to move every limb. When she got near the egg in the tree we said, "Look up!" and she looked up to the sky and twirled around awhile before we finally said, "In the tree!"

Jasper wasn't feeling up to the hunt (a.k.a. was immobile)  and was forced to watch Ruby run around from the comfort of his stroller. Next year they'll have to fight each other for the eggs.

We decided to hide her basket as well. As you can see Ruby was very excited about the basket (which she shared with Jasper). When she saw it she put her hand over her mouth and was like, "Oh my GOSH!" and squealed. It was the cutest thing. Of course the only thing she cared about was the mini Reese's eggs. The way she tore into that thing you'd think we never give her sweets! Did you know, according to what they told us at work, the average cost of an Easter basket is $75? I think I spent $15 thanks to some awesome clearance art supplies from Target. Win.
