We are enjoying a weekend of activities as we celebrate Easter. In my mind, Easter very closely rivals Christmas as my favorite holiday. I simply love this time of year. Now if only the weather would warm up and dry out!
The Little Miss and Yours Truly had a good time coloring Easter eggs yesterday. We skipped the store-bought egg dying kits and used what we already had on hand, regular food coloring as well as concentrated food coloring paste (the kind you can buy in the cake decorating aisle as most craft stores). Mix some of the coloring with 1 TBS of vinegar and 1/2 cup of room temperature water and viola! We used both regular white eggs as well as a few brown, farm fresh eggs. I really liked the way the farm eggs turned deeper/darker colors. 
Today we took advantage of the (short-lived) nice weather and enjoyed the annual Easter egg hunt and lunch at a local country club that some of our good friends co-own. The Little Miss was not sure of the Easter bunny that arrived though she showed some growth in that at least there were no tears this year! 
Bunny aside, the Little Miss had a great time hunting for the candy and toy-filled eggs. She also enjoyed the lunch afterwards at her own table with other five year old girls. The girls were adorable all dressed up! (Speaking of dressed up, as you all have heard this mama loves holiday dresses. The dress above is a hand-me-down thanks to her cousins).
