Dyeing Easter Eggs

Last night, we gathered around the kitchen table to dye some Easter eggs for our FHE activity.  It's always fun to see the children enjoying these little, holiday traditions--especially Logan who is now old enough to want to participate.  Here are a few pics of our Easter fun.

While I was still cleaning up dishes after dinner and setting up the Easter egg dye colors, Lia and Logan ran outside to play in the backyard with the neighbor girls.  Little Miss Ella who thinks she is old enough to be a part of everything these days, crawled over to the window, pulled herself up, and just stared out at the backyard fun with longing eyes.  I just thought it was the cutest thing.  Notice Ella pointing at them with her cute, little finger in the picture above.

Ella eventually noticed me snapping pictures of her and turned around...

and started walking towards me.  This girl is developing some mad, walking skills lately!

She then got distracted by the screen door and changed directions.

After staring out the the door, she turned around, flashed me a smile, and went back down to the floor for some turbo crawling! 

After the kids were called inside, we started coloring on our eggs and dyeing them.  Here is Logie hard at work.

Lia stirring her egg in the yellow dye.

And Ron tolerating the camera and me.

Ella had to be "caged" in her saucer to prevent her from climbing up one of our chairs and onto the table.  Needless to say, she was only happy in here for a few minutes.

Here we are with our eggs almost finished!

Logan kept on putting up the egg dipper to his eye and pretending that it was a monocle.  Silly boy.
