Easter weekend started off with a brunch and Easter egg hunt on Saturday with our church group. The family who hosted the brunch have this great forest as there backyard and hid 150 eggs for the 20 or so kids (all under the age of 5!) The kids had a blast looking for eggs that were hidden behind trees and under pockets of moss. 
After all the eggs were found and mass amounts of chocolate and jelly beans were consumed, the sugar-tingling kids all "sat" down for a reading of the Easter story. Caleb took this opportunity to scavenge through big brother Ryan's basket just in case.....
On our way home we stopped at the Oregon State University's lambing barn for an up-close and personal visit with the mamas and babies.
That night, after dinner, Ryan dyed his Easter eggs and couldn't wait for the Easter bunny to come and hide them. He had a blast making the eggs change colors, especially once he realized that he could take ones that were already colored, put them in another color, and get a completely different color!
Easter morning was filled with Ryan searching for his colored eggs and his Easter basket. There is nothing more comical than trying to give a 2 yr old directional terms! Of course all of this led to more consumption of chocolate - amazingly he did sleep that night.

Of course, nothing tops off a good Easter like a stop at Home Depot on the way home from church =)
