The week before Easter is always a busy one for me - planning an Easter meal, egg hunts, and attending multiple services for Holy Week. So, I typically dye eggs with the kids the weekend before. Admittedly this is something I dread a bit every year, and usually arrange to do at a time when Alexi can mostly do it. This year I took the initiative to do it alone with the boys and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Next year I think I'll buy an extra dozen to do some of my own.In case you missed it, last year I posted about our favorite Easter books.
These ribbon egg cards are really fun to make, and look great.
Other ideas for Easter that have caught my eye: this bunny fold for napkins and this centerpiece. When I figure out our menu for Easter I'll let you know.
Happy Tuesday!

I remember those stained hands, Lecia!
Such Happy photographs!
There is something so cheery about egg dying! I never thought to use mason jars but they are perfect, aren't they?!?
The older I get, the less fond of Easter Egg dying I am. I'm always more than happy to turn that particular activity over to either my husband or my parents!
Having said that, back in college I always hosted an Easter Egg dying party for my friends. (I moved to a condo at the begining of my second year...and hosted LOTS of things.) It was always a blast seeing a bunchh of college kids relax and act like kids! My husband still has a few things that I put in the boys' Easter baskets that first year.
Happy Easter kids.
Those eggs are cute.
Having the colorful eggs in the refrigerator for a week is so festive! Makes me want to dye some eggs!
I am thinking of making the following for Easter (so far) Pork Roast, Pineapple Bread Pudding.... that is as far as I got.... we are planning to head over to daughter Niki's for dessert. xoxoxo
Fun ideas, thanks for sharing them with us! I love the Easter cards that you made with the ribbons....great idea!
Beautiful collection of photos! I love colored eggs... so pretty.
Sweet photos! I read recently that using brown eggs gives the dye a deeper, richer color. Looking forward to trying that.
Grandma's house is for Easter egg dying in my reality--thank goodness.
I must try the cards with my daughter. How fun and pretty!
I love the colors of the eggs. My favorite part of entertaining is setting the table. I have the menu set, and the grocery list written. xo
Somewhat unrelated: I wonder why eggs in the US seem to be always white. They seemed strange to me the first time I saw them. Our eggs are brown, and probably not as good for coloring:)
Great now I want to color eggs. So pretty.
I love the colors and Lecia, jam jars are brilliant! What a way to see the color and get the depth needed!
