Easter Egg Tree




Here is our Easter Egg Tree that we've been working on all week! First we had to go out in the woods and find a suitable tree! Grandpa helped with trimming the tree and filling a bucket. Then we had to blow out the eggs. I posted a picture of the girls blowing for all they were worth! We all were successful at blowing them out. Pam, your guess was right. Bill, sorry, your guess was wrong! But it made us laugh so that was good! After blowing them out, while they dried, we had to do some weaving to cover the sides of the bucket. The girls worked really hard on this too. The eggs then had to be colored and again dried. The next step was for me to do. I very carefully cut an oval shape from one side of each egg. Then a picture of each grandchild was put inside and a thread to hang them. I'm not even finished with this yet. We have 11 eggs with grandkids, so 2 left. I won't say which two but I'll get them done soon. This was a big project and hopefully one the girls will remember doing with Grandma A. We have two eggs with a picture of Jesus in them, one hanging on a cross. Easter is fun but it also has a very important message. Memories are made of times like this!
