Colored Eggs

Before and After!

I always loved coloring Easter eggs as a kid. It's such a fun tradition. Our kids LOVE it! They took turns using each color and got a little messy, but they had a great time. After the eggs were all done, we headed over to my parents' house for lunch and a little Easter Egg Hunt. I remember having an egg hunt every year, either in my Grandpa Grace's backyard, or wherever Grandma and Grandpa may have been camping. We always ended up with a basket full! Our kids love it just as much. We had to have it indoors this year, so it was smaller scale, but still fun. The kids each had a type of egg they had to find, so they all ended up with a couple of eggs with money in them, and a few with candy. The candy was probably gone before we even left to go home!
Here's a slideshow of our egg coloring adventures.

Oh, you actually put newspaper down to make it less messy, hmmm.....who would have thought! Hee Hee, I swear my brain doesn't work, we just colored away and had some stains later. LOVE all the pics, your kids are darling.
