Easter Eggs!

Leave a comment
Tomorrow is Easter, so what does that mean? Easter Eggs! We sat down at the kids table in the kitchen and dyed our own Easter Eggs. We didn’t do a lot this year but that doesn’t matter, Abby and Ellie enjoyed it anyway. Ellie really embraced it and was an egg dying machine. At one point she had three eggs going at a time before we had to cut her off and get her to finish the ones that she had already started. Abby on the other hand was very meticulous and took her time with each egg.
Once we were done, the eggs were set to dry and the girls headed to bed. Gotta go to sleep so that the Easter Bunny will stop at our house! Sweet Dreams and Happy Easter Eve!

Easter Egg Decorating Time!

Its the night before Easter and its time to dye some eggs! Just like many other families this was a tradition in our house when I was a little girl and its something I know I want my girls to enjoy as well. So tonight I pulled out the egg dying kit, hard boiled some eggs and let the girls have some fun. And they did!

 

Ellie seemed to enjoy using blue and green on most of her eggs, while Abby stuck with purple, orange and yellow and pink. At least they covered all of the colors so that none of them felt left out! Abby was very much intrigued by the wax crayon as well. To her it was amazing that she could draw all over the egg and not see a thing but when she placed it into the dye she could see all of her art.

After eggs were done Daddy, despite not feeling up to his, decided to make something that he remembers enjoying as a kid. Matzo Brei! Shaun did a great job with it and while Abby turned her nose up Ellie jumped right in. Go figure! Who would have thought my picky little eater would love it so much.

After dying some eggs and enjoying some food in honor of Passover for our Jewish friends, we all headed to bed to wait for the Easter Bunny to come.  Ellie gets excited at the mention of the Easter Bunny just like Abby, but I cant honestly say she understands it all yet.  I guess we will see in the morning!
