Happy Easter from the Dennison family! We celebrated this year by dying eggs for the first time. I'll be honest, it was a big job keeping Finley's hands out of the dye, but it was still very fun and a great tradition to start. I decided the kitchen floor would be the safest place to do the eggs. With a lot of help from his parents, Finley managed to get his eggs dyed, only significantly breaking 1 in the process.
As you might imagine, American Easter supplies and candies are not so easy to come by in Hong Kong (especially jelly beans-- practically non-existent here). We were fortunate enough to have a friend give us her extra "grass" and a dye kit to use, and we had the basket left over from a gift someone gave us when Finley was born.
There were several paper towels used during the process, and we could only manage having 3 colors out at a time.
The waiting is the hardest part. Well, actually, the waiting and keeping your hands out of the cups.
Showing off the finished product after his bath. This is the face Finley makes now when you tell him to smile.
On Easter morning, the Easter bunny left some goodies for Finley. Since he doesn't eat candy, he got toddler-friendly treats like animal crackers, freeze-dried strawberries, and fruit bars. He also got some ABC bath stickers.
Going straight for the fruit bars! Yes, we let him eat one for breakfast!
After going to church, we had an egg hunt and lunch with our friends from church. We ended up doing the egg hunt in the gym at the high school since the weather was a little iffy. This is Finley hugging Macy, one of his favorite friends.
Finley discovered some chocolate eggs hidden during the egg hunt, and he was very curious to bite the foil wrapper.
Finley only retrieved about 3 eggs, but he had fun running around the gym like a maniac!
