Decorating Easter Eggs...

One of our favorite things to do at Easter time is decorate Easter Eggs with the girls! So yesterday, I hardboiled all the eggs in preparation...and the girls were so excited! After dinner, we started getting ready for this whole process...

We knew this was going to be an interesting year for this because Kaesyn is old enough to want to take part! She didn't quite get the fact that she had to leave the eggs sit in their color for a little while...she kept moving them back and forth between cups...WITH HER HANDS! She started out putting 2 eggs in this cup...

and then moved them both to this cup...Look at that hand!!!

Now, don't let this cute look fool you...everything was running smoothly...until she spilled a WHOLE cup a bright blue dye! Apparently Kaesyn thought SHE could move the cups and well, it didn't work out so well:) No pics of that...sorry:)

We noticed something else this year...Taegan took alot of time with her eggs and really thought about what color she wanted to make each one, while Jaelyn just put hers in colors:) Jaelyn was done with her pile of eggs long before Taegan was:)

So, new this year, was the egg that was deemed the "family egg". I have NO IDEA what this means or how this came about but the girls were so into the "family egg", it was kinda funny. All it really is is an egg that Jared dipped in just about every color dye we had! So, here is the Akers Family Egg for your viewing pleasure:)

And here are all of our eggs...ready for Easter day to be hidden outside hopefully!

What a fun family night! The girls had a blast and that's all that counts! Now we can't wait to hide these eggs!!!
