Eggs!

Egg dying was the most anticipated event of the week.  They talked more about this than the egg hunt or even the Easter Bunny.

Looking back at last year not much was different, except I cannot believe how little my guys were just a year ago.

Freddie was again very serious and determined to get the right shade of color and the perfect design, and wanted to experiment with using the crayon and adding stickers. 

And Hansie….well, what he lacked in finesse he made up for with enthusiasm.  There were quite a few eggs slam dunked into the glasses and eruptions of dye on the table and floor.  I'm glad we used trays again this year to contain some of that "enthusiasm."

Why yes, that is spaghetti sauce still on my face from supper!

Admiring his work

Beautiful results, which will make enough egg salad for Dada for the week.  Glad he likes egg salad!

I'm still not quite sure what our boiled egg tradition is.  As a kid I remember just leaving them in my Easter basket, but Charlie told the kids the Easter Bunny would hide the eggs for them to find in the morning…so…..alarm set to be up before the kids to take the eggs from the refrigerator and hide eggs for The Bunny.  Hardly seems right to have to set an alarm on Easter.
