MAKING THE EGGS FANCY

I knew we weren't going to be home for Easter this year, so on the Saturday before Easter weekend (March 24th) on a whim I decided that we should color some eggs. We haven't done that for ages and I thought Vivi would dig it. Plus, I just felt like some hard-boiled eggs.

Vivi absolutely loved it. Every single thing about the process tickled her. She loved coloring on the eggs, and she loved putting them in the dye. She loved checking them and finding that they had changed colors, and she loved putting her finished eggs in the container. She ended up doing half of our dozen because she would go through them so fast and we were all a lot slower. I did my signature spring flower egg and Stella did an egg where she wrote nice things about all of us, while Brent only got in one egg that he turned into a family one. Stella is such a great big sister and daughter. She didn't care that Vivi did a lot more eggs, and then she even let me have one of her precious ones. Oh Stella, you have the biggest heart!

The only downside is that we started cracking open the eggs to eat right away, and I know Stella was pretty heartbroken about her art being destroyed. At least we cracked open all of her eggs last.
