Easter Egg Hunts

So does anyone know why the tradition of coloring Easter Eggs came into being. And why, oh why, are giant sized bunny’s hiding said eggs?




I mean, really, is it just a reason to have egg salad?

I don't have a clue, but I see it as a celebration of spring and new life.

I am playing a little blog catch up today and enjoyed reading what you've been up to. We coloured eggs at church this year for the first time with the kids and they loved it - what's not to love? you get to be messy and everyone thinks it's great.

I was thinking it was because someone was tired of boiled eggs all the time so they tried to hide them before dinner? (ha ha)
