The Eid's of Kentucky: Easter 2011

Easter 2011...

The long Easter weekend started out with Caleb's Egg Drop on Thursday with his kindergarten class at his school. Caleb was so excited for this event....he decorated his box, and in it I put an egg in it's plastic baggie, and then filled all around it with bubble wrap. I thought for sure his egg was going to survive the 20 foot drop off the side of his school, and so did Caleb. But that was not the case...when Caleb got back in his classroom after the eggdrop, all the kids eagerly opened their dropped boxes to see how there eggs faired. Caleb's was broken and his clear baggie showed all the yellow yolk. As much as I wanted Caleb to have an unbroken egg to be proud of, it actually worked out just the way it should have. I say this because, it was Caleb's reaction that followed seeing his broken egg that made me so very proud of him. He laughed, showed his teachers and classmates his yolk filled baggie, and was just having fun no matter what the outcome... a great attitude to have in life:)

Thursday evening Caleb & Ava dyed easter eggs at our house.

Friday evening Caleb & Ava dyed easter eggs at Grandma Mary and Grandpa Albie's.

Saturday was Easter with the Eid's at Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Terry's.

Sunday- Caleb and Ava had an egg hunt in our backyard...thank goodness Caleb didn't want to peak, and kept Ava from peaking, so I had the chance to hide eggs, along with their gifts from Easter bunny on top of our swingset. Ava got Angelina Ballerina, and Caleb got Percy- Thomas the Train.

We then headed over to Shakopee to my parents house where we had lunch, another egg hunt and fun day.

There was a first this Easter...Craig was not with us, him being in Virginia training. I was able to get him on my iphone via facetime, so we could all see him and he see us:)
