As you have read, I was having a really hard time starting our Easter weekend, but I knew I had to make it super special! And with the help of some very dear people, they made it super special for the girls too! I will forever be thankful!
We knew had to color our eggs, so that we could make deviled eggs for our Easter dinner! So the girls and I got busy.
We bought this no mess dye kit at the dollar general store, called mystic dye, and it had a pearl look. Very pretty! But it didn't really dye the eggs, it would was right off the shell.
But they were having a GREAT Time coloring the eggs!
Then who can say they colored eggs and didn't get their hands dirty, so we had to paint some with our fingers!! And it was more fun!
The above is all 3 of us girls painting on very special family egg!!!
Then below you see the 3 eggs, and there is a message in them!
We Love Momma/ Mamaw!!!
The egg we painted is first, then the next is my hand painted egg, and I did a heart on it for Love. And next is the first egg I colored and did it in blue in memory of my Momma! So there you have the we love her! I wanted something for her, as we were all missing her so much!
But don't they look cute, and pearly? too bad it wouldn't stay like regular dye.
Then it was Easter morning!!! And it's not about the bunny, as we are celebrating that our Savior is risen and alive!!! But for the girls and tradition, even though they are taught the real meaning of Easter, and always get some thing from the bunny that is about Jesus, that rascal pays a visit.
Not only did he fill their baskets, he dropped some HUGE eggs outside!
He left 2 large plastic eggs filled with something for each girl! Lil E had purple and Lil K had pink eggs! He put a smaller matching egg for each by their basket in the house. I bet it was to make sure they knew who's was who's when they found them outside! It was a big surprise when we let Lil Bit out to potty and found these giant eggs!
Then it was back inside to see what was in their baskets! They had so much fun with all the lil things!
Then the girls and I made some cut out sugar cookies! We did eggs, bunnies, and Crosses.
They are awesome helpers in the kitchen! And loved rolling and cutting out the cookies, as usual!
But it was much more fun to decorate them so they could eat the left over icing and sprinkles, and eat broken cookies too!
I am so proud of this yellow egg, you see, Lil E pipped the pink on it! I think she did very good!
Easter afternoon we went outside for some fun!!! And Momma took some pictures too!
Oh my word! Does this mean they really were hatched? hehehehe
Then we all had so much fun outside playing! We did bubbles, and chalk, played ball, played with the eggs, and so much! It was beautiful out and I know Momma was smiling down on us!
Daddy even was teaching the girls how to blow on the blades of grass! It was a perfect day filled with family fun!!!
I even managed a picture of my fur baby, who hides from he camera!I can't tell you how much it means for those that brought the girls treats and special gifts! It means the world to us that you love our girls enough to make this Easter of all really special!
And we still needed to hunt our eggs! We had way to many eggs, and many from through the years, and some took me to egg hunts and Momma and Dads in previous years! Plus we had nearly 3 dozen dyed eggs from our friend for the girls to hunt and enjoy too!
Get ready, set, and HUNT
We really did have a wonderful time and made lots of great memories!!! We then sat down for a wonderful dinner with some friends! It was perfect!!!! I really can't tell you just how wonderful it was! Thank you, Momma, for giving me the strength to make it special even though we were all hurting so bad! We love you forever and always!!!!
Thank you, Jesus, for dieing on the cross for each of us! I'm so thankful that because of you, we get the gift of eternal life in Heaven!!!
Hope that you and yours had a wonderful Easter.
Hugs and Blessings,
