Decorating eggs


I haven't decorated eggs for years! I forgot what fun it is. One of the benefits of being a parent is that you get to do all of the fun "kid" things all over again.

Emily loved coloring Easter eggs. She would get an egg in the cup, and grab another egg right away. We could hardly keep up! Next year, I'll have more hardboiled eggs on hand.

Easter


I love Easter! I think it is one of the most joyful holidays we celebrate because Jesus is risen! He saves us from our sins! Another thing I love about Easter is that the grass is green, the daffodils are blooming and the trees are starting to bud and leaf out. Spring is my favorite time of the year.

It was so much fun celebrating Easter with Emily. She got all dressed up for church in a dress Grandma made and I even tried to do her hair (which didn't work, but that's another story). We hid Easter eggs at Grandma and Grandpa's house, and it was so much fun seeing Emily find the eggs and enjoying the fun. I'm already picturing another little one crawling around the yard next year assisting Emily! If you stop by Emily's blog, and wonder what is in the Easter egg she's looking at - it's raisins. I tried to go the healthy route this year and only a few of the eggs had jelly beans in them.
