Coloring Easter Eggs

Saturday night, we colored eggs with the girls for Easter.  Over the years, we have kept things pretty easy in terms of coloring.  As the kids get older, we may opt to use more sophisticated tools, like wax crayons and glitter.  For now, we're content with simplicity.

We are always sure to involve all of the kids in this activity every year, no matter how small they are.  Sometimes they are confined to their bouncy seat on the counter (Sophia was 2 months old one year) and other times, they sit in their high chair. 

Jack was satisfied playing with some plastic eggs from the egg hunt earlier in the day:

Sophia did a really good job following directions ... and not breaking any eggs.  I think that that is because she helps me regularly in the kitchen and is used to taking directives.

Look at those cheeks.  Jack didn't want to miss a single thing.

Their last eggs ...
