Decorating Eggs for Easter

We start with 5 dozen eggs!  It may seem like a lot but when you have 12 different colors of dye, it really only equals out to 5 eggs in each color.

 I can remember when I was young and my sister and I used to dye eggs, we were lucky to have 3-4 colors to choose from.  If you wanted a special color outside of the primary colors, you had to put the egg in one color and then transfered it to another color to get your secondary colors.

 Ready, Set, Go....

 Malachi is finally old enough to put the eggs in and taken them out by himself.  He had fun this year being in charge of his own eggs.

 Jacob thought the eggs were ready to eat and when he realized they weren't he decided they were "balls" so he tried to throw them.

 That meant it was time to give him plastic eggs to play with. 

 I made special eggs for the 3 boys in my life!

Look at all those different colors...I was surprised to see the color gray.

Just about done!  We had a blast...Jacob not so much, I don't think he really realized what was going on.  Next year though, he will understand more and he will too, have a blast dying Easter eggs with the family!
