Egg Dying

Emily loved loved loved to dye eggs. She loved to put them in each color. We had to watch her carefully because she would throw the eggs into the dye. She would say, "I throw rocks!" She wouldn't even bother with coloring them with crayons and just wanted to dip them in the dye as fast as she could get her hands on them.

We were lucky enough to get to dye eggs twice. We had a family home evening activity with the Grays coloring eggs and then that following Friday we had a pre-Easter activity with my parents where we made sugar cookies, and colored eggs. Emily was a pro by now with the eggs and she learned how to balance them on the loop and place them in the dye. She had such a fun time, and so i stocked up on lots of half price egg dying kits to do through out the year.

The Friday before Easter we had my parents over for a pre-Easter ham dinner, and a little activity of making sugar cookies and dying more eggs. Emily had a blast doing both as you can tell from her little facial expressions in all of the pictures. Having a little one around sure does make the holidays a little more special.
