Dying Easter Eggs and the Hunt for Easter Eggs!

Easter is not until April 4th, but the girls leave for spring break on Thursday, so we had our Easter Sunday in Palm on March 21. "E," "K," and "K" were the most excited girls about dying Easter eggs. They all have this activity as a family tradition and were excited to do it in the dorm.
Look at this very cool masterpiece of the German "shake and dye" egg coloring kit.

The girls had a great time coloring their eggs however they want to. I am excited to enjoy an egg for lunch today!
I too jumped on the egg coloring band wagon and dyed a few eggs (or ei in German) myself.

The beautiful colors of Easter.

Clean up is the job of the RA. We ended up with some good looking eggs. And now it is time of the Easter Egg Hunt.

Plastic eggs are hard to come by in Germany, but we did find some at the Euro Store. Here Lizzy and Stephanie pose with the "Special Egg." Whoever finds this egg get a whole day without doing their chores! We hid this egg in Lizzy's hood of her sweatshirt!

The hunt is on! Girls looked under couch cushions, behind books, and even in the ceiling! Oh where are those eggs?

"L" found the first egg and she is going to Lizzy to get some candy as her prize! Yumm...

"E" also found quite a few. We hid those eggs well and the girls were very excited to look for them! Then we ended the night watching "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs." Which is a great movie!
