You know what, I hate plastic eggs. I love the tradition of coloring your eggs and then hunting them, I always had that growing up and I want it for my kids, Not to mention that eggs are so much better for the kids than candy stuffed ones. Abbey is still a bit too little to get in on the coloring so Ashley had one last year of coloring them all :) Here are a few shots of her coloring and decorating :)
After the decorating was done, Daddy Jake hid the eggs for us and then Ashley got to hunt :) She said we didn't hide them very well :-P Guess we'll have to make them tougher for her next year. LOL!!! Here are her goodies.
After the egg hunting was over we had dinner. I cooked a Ham, Asparagus, Red Beans and Homemade bread :) Here is a shot of the real goodies :)
I did put together a few things in bags for the girls "Easter baskets" I never can bring myself to buy the premade ones, So impersonal and expensive!!! Here were there goodies.
All in all it was a fun yet relaxing day and dinner was so good everybody was stuffed when it was over :)
Ashley had also had an Easter egg hunt with her school before they let out for spring break, here is a shot of her eggs from that hunt :)
Till next time!

That girl is a real egg coloring pro!
I agree with you about the plastic eggs...it's just not Easter without the real thing. And I hate those pre-made baskets. They are so expensive and full of cheap things.
Dinner looks YUMMY!! Sorry I missed out on that one. :P
Hugs!
I know what you mean about candy in the little plastic easter eggs. I've now convinced my parents that nickels (even pennies) will suffice but they put a few candies and some play jewelery in my girls eggs this year as well as toy cars and nickels for my son.

The premade baskets just amaze me...even at 50% off after Easter they aren't worth it.
I love those Fisher Price phones! *memories* hee
Your dinner looks SO good.
