Easter Egg Fun

We enjoyed a fun evening of coloring eggs on Friday with the Ross Family, a yearly tradition! We had a bbq dinner to enjoy the nice weather and then gathered in the kitchen for eggs and colors. Holly adores this night, she looks forward to it for weeks. Something as simple as coloring eggs... it at the top of her list!

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!

Easter Eggs

Thursday night we got together with the Ross Family to do our yearly 'Easter Egg' night. We made a great dinner to enjoy and then broke out the supplies to color eggs. Each year we really have a good time doing this, it has become a nice little tradition we share together and one that we look forward to.

Easter Art

Yesterday we kept busy with some fun Easter themed art projects. We also did a bit of holiday decorating and have enjoyed reading several Easter & Spring books. It has been a good week! Tonight we are looking forward to coloring our Easter Eggs... another creative experience we enjoy -- usually more than once a year. Who says you have to wait for Easter, right?

Anyhow, Holly enjoyed creating a paper chain using pink, purple and yellow paper strips. To her those were Easter colors. She loves to use Daddy's stapler. Even though the paper chain is a fun activity and requires good hand skill - reality is, she would have had as much fun just stapling a bunch of paper over and over. Maybe someday I'll let her do that.

We also made these cute paper Easter eggs. This one seemed like a fun little project so I decided to make one too. Holly is always wanting us to also make art with her, our own projects - sometimes we do and sometimes we pass. Today, I jumped in and had fun! The eggs took a long time and required a lot of work -- they took about an hour and half to make. We made our designs on the eggs, cut a ton of little colored tissue squares and then crinkled them all up to glue onto our patterns. I am sure Holly's little fingers were tired by the time we were done. She held up well to this project and had fun doing it. And, I must say that she is pretty darn proud of how well her egg turned out too!

Easter Eggs

Saturday night we enjoyed some fun of coloring Easter eggs. Holly really enjoyed herself and even tried an egg. When it first cracked I had suggested she eat it and she looked at me in shock and said, "But Mama, there is paint all over it. You can't eat it." So, we had to finish cracking it open for her to try. She is a fan now!
