Easter Eggs

Thanks to Maria we had some Easter egg dye stored up and the kids got to color some eggs on Saturday. Easter around here isn't a holiday (though, oddly, in some places Good Friday is and everyone knows that holiday). In that environment its kind of easy for Easter to sneak right up on you.

One limiting factor is that our eggs here are brown and not white. Don't feel bad for us, recently one of the kids saw eggs on some American TV show and commented how the eggs were obviously fake since they were white. Brown ones are a bit harder to color, though.
So many choices. So many ideas. You could almost hear the creativity.
The finished products. They all kind of came out with a reddish tint.
On Sunday afternoon we took the opportunity to hide the eggs around the house since it had been raining most of the day Saturday and Sunday.
Bethany is a great hunter. The first to catch her limit for the hunt.
H-man was pretty proud, too. Caleb is getting so old it was harder for him to find any eggs but he got his share, too.
After all the eggs were recovered, Bethany hid them again for Mom and Dad to find. And guess who the winner was ... MOM! Just like last year.
The closest we got to an Easter Bunny was this guy at the mall but we think it was just a coincidence. Holidays here have alot of the Western culture stripped away and you can make all kinds of new traditions.
