:LAYOUT: got eggs?

Easter weekend came and went way too quickly this year, but we had a wonderful time with Justin's parents and family celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary with dinner out and a movie. We all went to Clash of the Titans and we nearly took up a whole row in the movie theater. It was a great movie...highly recommended.

Easter dinner was had at my parent's house and Kaitlin got to play with her cousins which she doesn't get to spend nearly enough time with these days. After an egg hunt for the kids (and a few eggs bearing gifts for the 'adults', too...thanks, dad), we all sat down to watch The Blind Side together. Another great movie!! Sandra earned her Oscar, no doubt.

Here's a fun egg hunt layout from a couple years ago that I still really love.

The multi-colored circles on the background paper mimic the theme of Easter eggs and the tilted mat adds a sense of playfulness to the photo grouping.

To help the pink foam letters stand out against the pink mat, I added a dotted pattern to the letters with a marker, again reinforcing the circular theme.
