Dyeing Easter Eggs!

Yesterday was the day to get our Easter eggs dyed. Mandy Rose has been very excited about Easter this year! She is looking forward to all the egg hunts...and the candy, of course! When I got home from class, we got our supplies around and dyed a dozen eggs to hide Sunday morning here at our house.
I put her apron on her and she was quite careful, but we still managed to get dye on her shirt. Thankfully, it is an old one, so not a great loss! She was concentrating very hard on spooning dye over the eggs. I love how she holds a spoon at the very end!
We worked together to put funny face stickers on each egg when it was dried.
She is very proud of her finished product! She will have fun finding them in the yard on Sunday morning! And, she will enjoy the egg salad or deviled eggs afterwards as well!
While Mandy Rose is just 4 years old, Easter is mostly about eggs, candy, and Easter baskets. We have started talking about the true meaning of Easter and, as she gets older, we will make sure she understands. But, for now, we talk about Jesus and get pumped for candy!!!
