coloring easter eggs

the Easter festivities are not complete without a little dye, magic crayons, and stickers

This year we shared the fun with Carter and his famiy. The kids had a good time talking about which color they were going to use next and what design they were going to draw and helping eachother move the eggs to the drying racks. We did have a little spill of green and Pete dropped an entire carton of eggs...good thing the were hard boiled!

Ava's stickers for her eggs were dogs and cats...I think she used every "doggie" sticker!
She even gave one to Penny, Carter's dog.
Over a week later, Ava was telling me "doggie, DOGGIE!" and pointing to the 'fridge. Then she wanted the egg carton and when I opened it, she grabbed one of her red eggs that had a dog sticker on it. I was so surprised that she randomly thought about the eggs we made and that she actually remembered that. She is only 21 months old! What a smart little baby! Oh, and then she started hitting it on her head and laughing...I guess she thought it was a confetti egg!

At Nana and Papa's house, we had a "fake easter" on the 15th.
They had an egg hunt, baskets and hard-boiled eggs to color.
