Easter and Ballet

Amelia had her first ballet class on Saturday.  In contrast to the dance class that she took last summer, Amelia LOVED this class.  She participated, smiled, had a great experience, and can't wait for next week's class.  Ken took her to the class and since I wasn't there to see it, Ken took a bunch of videos.  Luckily for you, I'm only posting 1 video here - of Amelia's favorite part "Good-bye Toes, Hello Toes".

Saturday we also colored Easter eggs.  I finally had enough courage to do something I love, but can potentially be very messy, so this was the first time the girls had done it and they loved it.

Amelia doesn't look very happy in this picture, but I think she was just in deep thought ;)

And then we had our annual Easter egg hunt in the backyard . . . in between rain showers.  I hid 69 eggs and the girls found 67.  I found 1 of the "lost" eggs later that day, and Sophia found the other "lost" egg today.

 Part 2 of the egg hunt:

Fortunately, Amelia was a nice sister, and gave Sophia the pink egg that they had both grabbed for at the same time.  I wish I had caught that on video too.

Here are the happy, not quite rained out, egg hunters, with their very full Easter baskets.
