Happy Easter!

We had a basket of candy-filled eggs on the kitchen island with the hors d'oeuvres. When it was time to set out dinner, I foolishly put the basket on the dining-room floor. Before we knew it, Katie had found the basket--and made a huge mess of its contents.

...which Katie promptly carries out

Aunt Mimi had taught her how to sample a little of each dessert. Katie called it "damp-uh-ling."

Ah, it warmed my heart...

The cousins looked through several of the scrapbooks I've made from years past. (Look at Katie trying to weasel in with the big "kids.")

Time to color eggs

Before bed, Katie, Steve, and Keith colored a dozen eggs.

Perfecting her technique

She kept using the little wire ladle as a stirring spoon. She seemed to think she was "cooking" the dye.

She gets the biggest kick out of him!

Easter morning

"Katie 'Nebbly' is my name. Cracking eggs is my game!" (What a MESS...and this was just Phase I of it...)
