Easter 2015

We spent Easter vacation in Italy this year, but before we left we made sure to dye eggs and do an Easter egg hunt with our neighbors Ella and Louis.

You can’t buy these plastic, fillable Easter eggs here, so whenever I break them out they’re a huge hit with all the kids.

They were so excited for the egg hunt- I could barely get them to stand still long enough for this pic!

Aren’t these egg clamp paint palettes cool? I bought them here at our local grocery store.

These Kinder Sorpresa (surprise) Maxi chocolate eggs are gigantic (Quinnie’s eating one in the pic above). They have a cool toy surprise inside the plastic capsule.

The Easter Bunny found us in Italy (the girls were a bit nervous)!!

When we left Köln, it still looked winter-ish and bleak.

When we got back home two weeks later, Spring had finally arrived!
