BURRRR!!!!!

The theme for our egg hunt was "hurry, hurry find the eggs and run back inside!!!" During church I looked out the window and saw a few flurries flurrying about! I told Dan that I am pretty sure Easter is suppose to be more "spring like"!!

Here is Fern finding her plastic Easter eggs filled with bunny graham crackers and a couple jelly beans!
Riley found one in his "hiking spot"! Jake found a few real eggs and a few "ball" eggs filled with yummy things!!We did a dozen real eggs, we like to dye them with plants. This year to keep it simple we only did 3 colors, blue = red cabbage, green = spinach, yellow = ground turmeric. We then did a couple using a technique Dan learned in Germany, we got a couple knee high stockings which then hold flowers and such in place while we put the eggs in the dye. Then they come out with pretty designs. See the second one from the left on the top row was done with a piece of fern! :)
I hope your Easter was a bit warmer than ours!!!!

  1. One year my mom did dye from veggies too. Our colors weren't very vivid that year!
