Getting Ready for Easter



Paul and I grew up with different Easter traditions - at my house we dyed DOZENS of Easter eggs and the Easter Bunny hid them all over our house, we never used plastic eggs. Paul's family found plastic eggs and the Easter Bunny hid them outside. We figured why not combine the traditions? Of course it was raining/snowing Easter morning so we skipped hunting for eggs outside but we did dyed eggs and plastic eggs. The girls thought it was really fun to find both kinds of eggs - especially the special ones they painted with their paint set from Grandma and Grandma Meiners.

Here are some videos of the girls dying eggs - we used plastic cups so they could see the color of the dye but they were still incredibly excited to take the eggs out and see the colors!


I wasn't ready to try dying eggs with clothes on - notice that Hudson is also shirtless - Bristol insisted he needed to take his shirt off too...




Besides dying eggs they each painted one egg and these eggs became their own special eggs - originally we were going to let them paint several eggs but they took a really long time to paint them individually, and they both were very defensive about finding their own egg.
