Colorful Eggs

Tonight we spontaneously had our friends Brian, Teresa, and their darling one-year old son, Sam, over for dinner. We had a great night watching the basketball games, playing peek-a-boo with Sam, reading his favorite books, and we also decided to dye some eggs.

As a kid, I don't remember this really being a family tradition, but last year and this year, I've participated in this spring time ritual and loved it! This year Teresa shared some egg dyeing tips: use brown eggs as they produce richer colors and put the egg into a wire whisk so they get evenly coated and your fingers don't turn colors. Both ideas made the whole process much easier and our results more beautiful.

Brian and Cliff watched the basketball games, Sam wandered from room to room (after dyeing one egg), and Teresa and I had a wonderful time together. Check our our handiwork below...
