Since my kiddos are bigger, and MUCH busier, we now have "Drop By and Dye". The table is set up, I have a dozen eggs for each person all boiled and ready (they can bring more of their own, if they desire) and they can come whenever. This year, almost everyone came...at the same time...so we ate and dyed.
Dad started the pizza oven when Ethan and Cam said they were hungry for pizza (we don't need much of an excuse to start that oven, but it takes 3 hours of adding logs to the fire to make it just perfect). I made a layered bean dip for a snack, and so we ate dip and pizza before we dove in and dyed.
The women were very serious in their creations.
The boys were great dyers...

| Ethan grabbed a fresh chicken egg for this pic...I swear I have a picture of him, when he was maybe three or four, with this EXACT smile! |
Once they were finished, the boys took the opportunity to test out some yard sale finds: model rockets.
 |
| Ethan was "mission control"...performed the countdown ... far away... |

| Mom: expert photographer - got the moment of ignition. |
WARNING:

Dad missed the fun too...he dyed his egg on Easter morning.
Thank you ALL for humoring your ol' mom and making it so much fun!
