Easter preparations, Part 1

This year, our Easter preparations were all kind of last-minute. Although the kids were out of school all week, we did not get any decorations up, let alone dye Easter eggs until Saturday.

Nina was so excited about all the activities, and I'm sure this was her first Easter celebration. Don't worry, baby girl, there will be many more to come!

I had purchased this egg dye kit a few years ago, and never used it - boy do I know why! It was a MESS! Oil based dye everywhere, sparkles everywhere..... *sigh*. Do NOT recommend oil based dye at all! The funny thing is - I'm the one that frets over stuff like that - the kids who helped had a blast, and Nina loved to be the "sprinkler of the sparkles" - she is such a sparkly kind of girl! They don't even care that their hands still look like they haven't washed them in weeks :-)))).

Anyway, here is the finished products, and with a slight grumble I have to admit that the eggs turned out rather charming....
