Week Long Easter

Easter Message for the Day

His Sacred Name: An Easter Declaration

This is a short Momon Message about the Savior

I know that the Savior Lives.  He rose from the tomb and is Risen!  Because of his love and sacrifice we too will be resurrected and can one day return to live with Him in His Father's Kingdom.

Every year we really enjoy coloring eggs as a family.  We love using our chicken eggs becasue of their brown color.  They come out with an earthy look.  This year we tried something new.  Instead of buying an egg coloring kit, we used Kool-Aid.  We didn't get that stinky vinegar smell, instead it was fruity.  The colors of some came out extremely bright.

I let the kids pick their colors from the store.  Next time I would probably do the color choosing and use the ones that Jen Renee used.  The kids didn't really care what colors there were and they had alot of fun creating their own colors by mixing. 

To Make Your Own Kool-Eggs:

Kool-Aid packets

water

cups

spoons

extra items for decorating (we used crayons and rubberbands)

Fill each cup with 2/3 cup water (warm or cold it really doesn't matter)

Put a whole package of kool aid into each cup and dissolve.

Let the coloring begin

dry eggs and store in refrigerator

The kids couldn't resist drinking the kool-aid.  No sugar added made for a very tart sip of kool-aid.  I thought that they would have belly aches for sure.

Another look at our master piece.
