Eggtastic!!

Tonight after Livi went to bed, Noah and I made up some eggs and set out to decorate them. I got the kitty and bug kit because Noah James LOVES both of these things and I figured he'd go crazy when he saw all the stickers, which he did! :) Anyhow, this is actually both of our's first time making eggs. I don't ever recall doing it when I was little (kinda sad, huh). I added the vinegar for "more vibrant colors" as the box said, but it just didn't make them as bright as I had hoped, but it was still fun. Noah was so proud of his eggs. He sat there and put the stickers on one by one. He would point to which sticker he wanted and I'd hand it to him....so cute.


After our eggs were all decorated, I got the cake I had made earlier and iced it. I made up a batch of marshmellow fondant before we started the eggs, so I got it out and started playing with it. My original
idea was to have a scene of the easter bunny hiding eggs. I had planned on making a fondant tree and maybe some logs so that bunny had a place to hide the eggs. Well, the fondant didn't work out so well, so I made a basket and filled it with eggs and placed it by the bunny. Maybe next year I'll get more vigorous with it! :) Noah was very interested in helping me so I gave him a little fondant to play with and he was busy for a while. I love that he's getting big enough to do little projects with. He's getting to be my right hand man.


Here's the finished project. Hope every likes it at Easter Lunch tommorow.
