Easter Weekend Fun

Happy Easter weekend!  David and I took our younger crew to a local Easter egg hunt and they had a great time.  I mostly got pictures of G because that's who I was helping.

Excited about all those eggs!

And then we dyed eggs as a family.  Each of the kids got their own box of 12 while David and I shared a box (we had all the eggs that cracked during boiling).  We tried a few new techniques.  We used traditional dye.  We also used Ziploc bags, rice and food coloring to make speckled eggs.  This was a hit and super easy to do.  And lastly, we made swirly eggs using whipped cream and food coloring.  You basically swirl a few drops of food coloring into the whipped cream, roll the eggs in the mixture, let them sit and then wipe them clean.  This was another fun way to make patterned eggs.
