Drop By And Dye

My kids are the best! No matter how old they get, they still humor me when it comes to dying our Easter eggs. It was more of a challenge to get the eggs this year...I kept making trips to Fresh and Easy...that ol' two box limit thing. Still, all had fun. The dying came in shifts...the first wave came at 2pm, Nate breezed in...and out...at 4:15...and Kayty and her friend, Menday, spent hours in the evening. Great eggs, great people...and great fun. Plus, Dee's deviled eggs on Easter were a real hit!

Dee has ALWAYS been a good sport and really takes time to make the best looking eggs!
Ethan even took great care (Cameo always makes the prettiest eggs!)
Doran and Danyel worked hard too.
The best part is the talkin' that goes with the dyin'.

Cameo's egg...or so I thought...It matched her shirt! But, I later found out she was just moving Ethan's egg! Hers were great, when she got them done!


Ethan truly did a great job...and a green egg...my fave!


Somehow, I didn't get Danyel with a finished egg!

Doran's finished product!


Nathan ran in the front door, threw all 18 eggs in various cups, ran down the hall, took a shower, dressed to go to Priesthood Session, and stopped for a picture...no finished egg, though...no time!

Kayty invited a friend from GCC Choir, Menday, to the fun, though he had to work late, so they took the evening shift. Menday took great care to create specific dye colors...he is a football fan, and made a couple that looked like footballs!
Morgan had other plans, so we had 18 eggs left...kinda hard to eat just white ones with all the great ones we had here!
And all was watched over by our family "mascot"-Mr. Punkinhead Man.
Thank you to all who made this year so much fun! And, just in case you kids were wondering...the sales provided dye for me...for 3 more years!!
