4-23-2011 Saturday - To "Dye For" Eggs!

We boiled 60 eggs this year so we'd be able to have lots of fun coloring them with the kids. It was great having Drew and Holly back for Easter this weekend too!

Jeff got into it also. He wrote each of the kids names on an egg and dyed it. On the right side of this photo, you can see our Easter Egg Tree.

I bought several hollowed out eggs when we were in Salzburg, Austria where they cut designs into them and paint them so beautifully. I bought some cherry tree branches from Michael's Crafts, put them in a spring green colored vase and then hung the Austrian eggs with ribbon all over the branches! It was my favorite decoration this year!

Shera (always in her pajamas) had great fun and even "borrowed" some of my eggs to color too!

Noel made a watermelon egg!
