Our highlight of Easter is always the egg dyeing. Thanks to Grandma Mary for sending several dyeing kits! We especially liked the tie dyed eggs and were surprised at how cool they turned out. 
For the second year in a row our friends hosted an Easter umu. Last year I took part in the umu preparations, but this year we just showed up to eat (thanks to Jay, Carol, and Fua for all their hard work). Except for the Samoan cooking our Easter was pretty traditional. The kids dyed eggs and went on an egg hunt. Emma was so sweet during the egg hunt. She strategically dropped many of her eggs so the younger kids could "find" them. Emma later told me that she didn't want to just give the kids eggs, but make them feel proud that they found them on their own. 
Paul fit right in at the kids' table!
Emma was excited to make jewelry with the floam she got in her Easter basket. She oddly loves to watch infomercials and for awhile she's wanted to order floam. Who knew the "only available through this television offer" floam could be purchased in American Samoa?
