Easter with the Maynes

Easter in Seattle is a rainy affair. Always is…probably always will be. I’ve given up on buying my girls frilly dresses, as they will just freeze and end up complaining the entire time they’re wearing them. No, we’re still pretty much in winter dresses…with leggings…and boots. Here the girls pose with the Easter Bunny while at brunch.

Isabelle and Sophia started coloring Easter eggs on Saturday. We only tipped over two bowls (pretty good for us) and only cracked three eggs in the coloring process. Again, very good for our family.

Hudson even got in on the coloring action, though his preference was towards trying to eat the egg, shell and all. He made it through the coloring of one egg, and then was back to playing cars on the floor.

That night the kids put their Easter baskets outside in anticipation of the Easter bunny coming. Only in our house do we wear our Christmas pjs on Easter evening. Classy.

And the next morning the kids delighted in going outside and finding their full baskets. Once again, it was raining, so the poor baskets had to sit clinging to the side of the house until the kids were ready to go out and get them.

For brunch we all took a trip to the top of the Space Needle to enjoy the most spectacular view of Seattle. Though the weather was cloudy and rainy, of course, it was still a view of the city I'd never seen. Isabelle especially loved it and sat glued to the window the entire time.

After brunch we colored more eggs. This time we didn't spill any colored water, and only broke one egg. Crazy improvement!

The day was wrapped up by an Easter egg hunt INSIDE. Booo! The girls got to hunt on two floors, though, and fun was still had by all.

Today's activities:
Wow...where to even begin. We're all exhausted and Todd is looking forward to going back to work in order to rest.
