Coloring Easter Eggs

This year coloring eggs was really fun for Noah. He wanted to do everything by himself. Lydia of course needed help, which she wasn't too happy with that idea.

Noah had a hard time waiting for the eggs to sit in the dye. He wanted to just put them in, take them out, put them back in, take them back out, and so on and so on. We only ended up with 3 cracked eggs out of 12 during this process :)

Lydia never wanted to let her eggs go. We would have to force her hands to drop them in the dye, and she'd throw a little fit. Isn't that what girls are good at doing? That's what we are learning really fast!

Noah was so patient and didn't mind getting a little help from mommy to take the eggs out.

Time to decorate the eggs! The package we chose had stickers to make faces on the eggs. Noah loved picking out each set of eyes and the mouth for each egg.

We also bought these coloring q-tips to add extra color to your eggs. Noah made some pretty fun designs on every single one.

If you're wondering what happened to Lydia during all of the decorating, well here she is.... She got bored fast, and decided to string toilet paper all over the house when we weren't watching.

She is hard to keep up with, but she sure makes us laugh and smile everyday :) We love you Lydia!

We had a fun night coloring eggs this year. It was hard to get the kids in bed that night, because they were so excited for the Easter Bunny to come the next morning and bring presents. Noah would say, "Tomorrow I get Easter Money!" I think he confused "bunny" with "money." It was so cute!

Here are all of Noah's creations. He placed every single sticker. We didn't help him with one single face. I thought he did a pretty good job making each one unique :) Great Job Noah!!!
