Egg Decorating and Birthday

We decorated eggs with the girls the other night. It was the first time doing that for both of them and they loved it! They were more interested in holding the eggs than actually dyeing them, but they both loved looking at the finished product.


Deciding which stickers to put on the eggs.

Laurel can't wait to get started!

I put them in some of my running t-shirts so they wouldn't ruin their clothes. We had to use a ton of clips to keep the shirts on their little bodies.

More egg decorating decisions.

Erika thought the process took a little too long.

They both chose their favorite color to dye.....blue for Erika and purple for Laurel.

Hooray for eggs!


I also celebrated my 30th birthday yesterday. It was a really fun day with lunch with my girlfriends and their kids at McDonald's.....the best place to have your children entertained while you and your friends talk. We had a family dinner and home with a beautiful, yummy cake that Matt bought for me. It was a fun, relaxing, wonderful day! My mom was in town so she took over taking care of the girls for me for the day.....the best present ever!
Erika and I laughing over the fact that she just "burped on the birthday cake!"

And our final Hammar family update....Wyatt got bit by some mystery bug (probably a spider) on Wednesday. His eyes and muzzle swelled up very painful looking. He has had that happen to him before, so we knew just to give him some benadryl and let the medicine run its course. He was swollen for about a day, but not in too much pain. He's all better now, but this is swollen Wyatt!

Yay! Glad your birthday was wonderful! The photos of the girls coloring eggs are precious. My kids love to do that every year; of course, we get quite a few brown eggs from them being dipped in every color of dye. I like the special kits they have out now, like tie-dye and speckled.

Poor Wyatt--I hope the spider fared worse than he did!
