Festival: Faberge Egg Festival Last year, parents in Colorado Springs invaded the city's annual Easter egg hunt, ruining everything and leading organizers to cancel this year's event. The reason for the interference, said one parent, was simple: "I promised my kid an Easter egg hunt and I'd want to give him an even edge." Clearly, the true meaning of Easter has gone by the wayside. Assuming you want your children to know the true meaning of Easter, get them to a church. If you're fine with maintaining the charming egg association, but want to avoid awakening your worst helicopter-parent instincts, take your children to Hillwood's Faberge Egg Family Festival. There they can paint eggs in grand Faberge style, listen to storyteller Arianna Ross divulge the egg's aristocratic history, play Russian folk games, listen to Russian folk music, and meet a Tsar Nicholas II impersonator. To April 1 at the Hillwood Museum, 4155 Linnean Ave. NW. Phone: 202/686.5807. Web: http://www.hillwoodmuseum.org/
