Decorating easter eggs!

This year was a fun year with the kids. Kaeryn and Tristan are getting more and more creative and love to make things so decorating our easter eggs this year was something we were looking forward to. Jaxen actually got into it this year also. Last year he wasn't all that interested in what was going on. But this year he had his fun with the eggs learning to pick them up and dump them into the dye. Of course they all ended up in one color at first until I showed Jaxen that he could put them in other colors. It was so cute he would pick one egg up and dump it and then pick it up again and dump it somewhere else. And then he would let it sit in the dye and would go play cars until he decided he wanted to dump it somewhere else. It was great. Kaeryn and Tristan got some laughs from that also.
Tristan loved to carefully mix the colors on his eggs. He would let one side sit in one color and then let it sit in another color. Some of his eggs came out looking very cool. He also loved wearing daddy's shirt. Tristan was very excited for easter and couldn't wait to go on the egg hunt and find an easter surprise.
Kaeryn looked like a little artist while decorating her eggs. She too would choose carefully where she wanted her eggs to go. She also wanted any egg that cracked. So she would trade with her brothers if one of their eggs cracked. She liked the look of the cracked egg shells and also was excited about seeing the color on the egg when she got to eat it. After her eggs had dried she also got out the stickers and the other decorations that came in the box.
Even Ron took part in this little adventure. He was Jaxen's little helper and had some fun creations. They were all very proud of their eggs. I was too. It's so fun to see my family having fun being little artists like me.
