Happy Easter 2014-Part 1

 Yesterday morning we dyed Easter eggs for 2014...and this was the first year that Claire really enjoyed it. :) Meaning she dyed pretty much all the Easter eggs this year. :) But that was more than ok, because Austin and I had so much joy watching her have fun. :)
 There was some neon food coloring at Aldi's (where we shop a lot), so we decided to give it a try this year. It was really neat! It did better than the regular colors we usually use (we just use hot water and vinegar with the food coloring to color eggs). Claire liked trying every color we made: neon pink, blue, green, purple, raspberry, and the regular yellow as well. There were even a couple of eggs we let her take a white crayon to, so they would show up once she dyed them.
 Austin was very patient with Claire as he showed her just what to do. :) The last couple of years I think Claire was just too young to catch on, but she sure wanted to do everything this year! :)
 What a happy life to be a child and have fun. :)
Happy Easter!
