Bretts C school class photo

Brett graduated from Fire Controlman C school on April 2, 2010. I am so proud of him and all of his hard work that has gotten him to this point. He has made it through one of the toughest schools that the Navy has to offer. We are so excited for the next phase of Navy life and to see where it will lead us.

Easter

We love all holidays and I especially love ones that are pretty new to Brett. Brett converted from Judaism about 6 years ago but hasnt really had a chance to participate in many of the holidays that are Christian. Because of this I try to make Christmas and Easter extra special. Last year we didnt do much for Easter because I had just moved up and we honestly had nothing in apartment to do any Easter stuff with. So this year I wanted to go all out.

We decided to dye some eggs. I got to show Brett the ropes and he caught on really quickly.

The dyes as always are super messy so we used some paper bags to keep it off the counters.

I showed Brett how to use the wax crayon to make designs on the egg.




Brett made some really fun designs.

We bought a fancy foil egg kit. It was really easy to do and it had a fun effect.

Brett made some of these too but pressed a little hard on the first one and broke the egg.

And here are our finished products....

I had to make one special egg for Brett
Brett also got an Easter Basket. Since Brett does not have the patience to wait for morning, and since he is not a kid, he got it tonight.

I tried to find all the stuff that he enjoys that they had in the Easter isle at the commissary

One of his favorites was the Hubba Bubba gum tape. Remember that from being a kid?

Tomorrow we are going to have an Easter dinner and we cant wait for it!
