Coloring Easter Eggs

This was Addison's first year to color eggs. She knew right away that she needed to dip the egg in something. Isaac was a pro at it and knew exactly what to do. He got fidgety though while the eggs were taking time to get the color on them. I made a slide show so enjoy....I looked up the History of coloring eggs and why people do it because I honestly didn't know. This is what I found.
From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus' emergence from the tomb and resurrection. Decorating eggs for Easter is a tradition that dates back to at least the 13th century, according to some sources. One explanation for this custom is that eggs were formerly a forbidden food during the Lenten season, so people would paint and decorate them to mark the end of the period of penance and fasting, then eat them on Easter as a celebration.
