New life.



I admit it. 

I'm obsessed with eggs...
especially ones that come in all colors and sizes.


So....

we have lots of chickens. 
 Around 90.
I think.
 
 We get around 30 eggs a day...and it's going to pick up soon since spring is here!

BUT....

When I saw these beauties at the feed store and the kids fell in love, and I decided it was time to add ducks!

They make yummy eggs too!  

 

I didn't buy them just then,
but I went back the next day so the kids wouldn't know.

 I surprised them on Easter...
They were THRILLED! 

They are all that was in our Easter basket this year and it couldn't have been more perfect. 

I just love the symbolism of new life in the relation to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

These babies are so beautiful!
They are even more adorable than chicks!  


 


Which I also find irresistible.
More eggs will be here in just a few short months! :)
