While we were there, the little ones got to visit the Easter Bunny. Emma just wanted Mommy as usual.
The animals were all very playful today. We haven't been to the zoo in a while and Emma was really into it this time.
Ethan's favorite is always the train.
Saturday night after the zoo, we came home and dyed Easter eggs. Ethan really got into this.
Emma also enjoyed messing with all of the neat new stuff that was out.
Trystan and Ethan stirring the dye.
Pictures out of order and back to the zoo, Mommy, Ethan, and Emma on the train.
Ethan trying to measure up to the gorilla.
All three kids Easter morning. Mommy was really excited about all of their Easter outfits. The boys actually were good about wearing pink (Ethan) and purple (Trystan).
Emma in her Easter dress.
On Easter morning we had an egg hunt in the basement. The kids really had fun with this (their first of 3 for the day!)
Emma discovered jelly beans without Mommy's knowledge. Jelly beans for breakfast; only on Easter!
Ethan really thought that the Easter bunny was going to leave something on his train table, so.. the Easter bunny left him a note inside of an egg. The note told him the usual, happy Easter and also about the true story of Easter and reminded him to take time out to pray and thank God for sending his Son to save us from our sins.
A few cute pictures of Emma and her dress.
She loved carrying around the basket of eggs.
Boy it is hard to keep a 3 year old in a shirt and tie all day!

Emma digging in to her's also.
Trystan playing with all his goodies from Easter. What is in his hand is called a Kinderegg. Uncle Chris brought them home from Germany and they are illegal to sell here in the US because it is a hollow egg with a little toy inside which could be a choking hazard if someone could manage to get the whole egg in their mouth (not likely!) Anyhow, it was a silly toy but it was covered in real German chocolate and that was the best part. Thanks Uncle Chris. This was their bedtime treat for Easter.
The family on Easter.
Sidenote: 32 more days of full time work! (No, we are not really counting down but that means that I have 128 more classes to teach and Kathy, you have 96! I teach 4 a day and she only teaches 3 but they are longer.)
