You are never too old to color Easter Eggs are you? I certainly don't think so. This year (thanks to Pinterest), we tried something new. We colored our eggs with kool-aid powder dissolved in water. I thought they had a pretty color to them. I can say that it definitely smelled better than the vinegar! :)
Jacob is our sentimental child. When he heard that Brian's parents might not be able to make it for Easter this year, he immediately said, "How will we color Easter Eggs. To him, we always do it together and it was hard for him to imagine doing it without them. Fortunately, they were able to visit and Jacob was smiling big while dying his eggs!
Lizzie concentrated hard on making sure that egg was secure in the "dipper"

Don't let the grumpy look fool you. He had fun. Somehow he turned it into a competition - who could have the darkest red egg. With the little competition, he was really into it!

After hunting eggs and checking out baskets on Easter morning, I shared my "knowledge" of Peeps with the kids. They thought it was pretty cool to see the Peeps expand. We even took some time to bet on how long they would have to go before they exploded. Calmer heads (Brian) prevailed and we never did let them get to the exploding point.
