Easter Eggs

We do the whole "basket, egg and bunny" thing on Saturday, and reserve Sunday for the celebration of Christ's Resurrection. So here we are enjoying the more pagan side of things. (hee, hee, sometimes the Baptist in me sneaks out.)

Coloring eggs

(Yes, I waited until Selah was napping. So there goes yet another Mommy of the Year Award.)

Mixing the vinegar

Add the color tablets and voila - bright colors!

Getting artsy

I also got a kit for speckling the eggs, which basiclly involved a little plastic pump/syringe that sneezed paint onto the egg... and all over the kitchen.

Elianna got bored with the pumps and wanted to paint. Then, she ran out of eggs and needed some paper! We had paint everywhere, but it was a lot of fun.

Finished Product (Can you tell which ones are Daddy's?)

Easter Egg Hunt

Getting excited to go hunt for eggs!

Okay, somehow I didn't actually take pictures of them searching for the eggs, but here they are with all the eggs they found! Then they opened them to see which ones had chocolate covered marshamallow bunnies in them. (And that's ALL the candy they got!!! I know, I know, mean ole mommy. My kids are going to be so warped.)

Easter Baskets

They each got a basket with a new pair of shoes, an umbrella and Elianna got some make-up (glitter powder and lip gloss). She has been ALL about make-up lately, so this was a real treat for her.
