No More White Eggs!

It's tradition in my family to get together the day before Easter and transform our plain white hard-boiled eggs into colorful Easter eggs. This year was especially fun because Ben and Sam were both big enough to be out in Pop's shop with the rest of the family and dye eggs on their own. In addition to the boys and I, Gram & Pop, Grandma & Grandpa, Uncle Ray & Aunt Annie, Beth, Pete & Kayla, and Olivia took part in the festivities. Between all of us we had fifteen dozen eggs to dye!
Aunt Annie also reminded us of what Lillian, my cousin Heather's little girl, said last Easter....she told Annie (her Grandma) on the phone that they were going to kill some eggs for Easter (apparently she had die and dye confused).
After finishing up the eggs we all enjoyed a traditional dinner of baked ham with all the fixings prepared by Gram.

Ben is quite proud of every one's hard work.

Finished!
