Easter 2015

Because Drew had an 8 am soccer game on the Saturday of Easter weekend, we stayed in Frisco until after his game and then headed down to Lake Jackson. We got to my mom's house at 3 p.m. or so and the kids immediately got in the pool, started swimming, and playing with their cousins. They were so incredibly happy to be there!! A few hours later, they were eating snow cones and decorating their eggs. Dilan and Drew took great care in making the colors they wanted while Drake worked on perfecting the technique of using the egg dipper when putting his eggs in the colors or taking them out. Dakota used her hands and loved the process of coloring eggs so much that she wanted to do more! Waking up with their baskets was fun too.
Dilan got a soccer Barbie doll, the new Tinkerbell movie, Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Never beast, and book as well as the new Frozen Fever book. Drew got the beginning of the second Seekers book series, a Thomas movie called Signals and Crosses, and some new trains. Drake got the new Thomas Dino movie, new Dino trains, and Thomas Dino book too and a Pete the Cat book. Dakota got a new Cinderella doll, a Strawberry Shortcake movie called Snowberry Days, and two Pinkalicious books.
Later, the kids got dressed in their Easter dresses and clothes and went hunting for eggs. At first, Dakota would not put her dress on and she tried to take it off. After a good cry, she eventually went outside to hunt for eggs and she got used to wearing her dress. She was more interested in riding the car around than picking up eggs. Drew, Dilan, and Drake raced to grab their eggs and had a lot of fun hunting for them.
