Easter Celebrations

Happy Easter! Feels like we've been counting down the days until Easter for a long time, probably because I was anxious to put away Valentines decorations so we moved onto Easter decorations. We dyed eggs for the first time this year.  Alli had an Easter parade and egg hunt at school and then on Easter Sunday after church, we continued our tradition of brunch at PF Chang's (odd tradition, I know). Alli wanted to keep re-enacting Easter morning and looking for her Easter basket and hidden eggs all afternoon.  It was a bright sunny day so we enjoyed a little hike through the Saratoga National Historical Park of which has been on our list of places to check out.

Dying eggs
Drying some of the creations
The nest is complete! (I see some slight resemblance to my sister Amy in this picture of Alli??)
School egg hunt
Olivia and Alli at school.  They made cute Easter bonnets out of wrapping paper and painters tape, but Alli's wouldn't stay on because of her piggie buns.
Checking out her Easter Basket (which took all of 30 seconds and then she went back to finding hidden eggs)
Saratoga National Historical Park - pretty sky!
Took about 15 pictures and Alli's hand was in front of her face in all of them.
