Discovery

Today was a day of discovery for Ella.  She discovered how some fruits and veggies can be used as natural dyes for Easter eggs.  She discovered the stories behind the donkey and coins in our Resurrection Eggs, and she discovered that saying, "may I" instead of "give me" is much more effective.  

Discovery:  Snacking makes waiting a whole lot easier

Smelling the raspberry tea before boiling

Whoever discovered using a whisk was a genius

She's puzzled why the eggs aren't changing color.  Mom's discovery:  forgot to add the vinegar.

Wish I would have had purple cabbage on hand for a Robin's egg blue color, but next year. 

Donkey:  Jesus is the Prince of Peace

Coins:  For a mere 30 silver coins, Judas went off to betray Jesus

Ella kisses make mommy the "Happiest Girl in the Whole USA."

"Skip-a-dee-doo-dah thank you Lord for making her for me."


So Blessed!
