dyeing Easter eggs

Saturday night (Easter Eve, if you will) we had fun coloring Easter eggs. :) Yes, I know Easter eggs have their roots in pagan traditions, but they're fun. We don't let them cloud the true meaning of Easter, any more than we allow Santa Claus to cloud the true meaning of Christmas, but childhood SHOULD have some fun things here and there! :) We left the Easter Bunny out of it, if that makes anyone any happier. ;)

We bought a kit that had dye, a crayon to create designs, and stickers.. Of course we used all three! We took lots of pictures, so enjoy! :)

Happy Easter!
