I haven't made colored Easter eggs since the kids were young.  Brings back some nice memories, though. 

To this day, we never found where my daughter, who was about 8 or 9 back then,  hid the real Easter eggs for her younger brother's Easter egghunt. She hid 12 eggs throughout the house and we only found 11. Lol  She was about 8 or 9 years old and forgot to make a list where she hid them.

It's been many years since I colored eggs as my kids are adults but it was always fun to see what kind of wild color combinations you could get.

We didn't color eggs this year.  Our little GD knows we always have bacon made.  Well, our DIL sent me a picture of our GD doing her eggs.  One had a sticker with and egg and a slice of bacon, and said "Don't go bacon my heart".  She told her mom and dad that the bacon one was for Nana. 😆 🥓 🥚 🍳

I miss dying eggs with our boys.

One year, when the younger was about 3; he swallowed the green dye tablet!  I went straight through the little fella!!!!!

I didn't help paint any this year But we bought some wooden eggs, "same size as normal eggs" and sent them to our grandchildren to paint and send a couple back to us. It was a pack of 8 so plenty for everyone.

As a child, we always dyed eggs on Holy Saturday. My mother would hide the eggs early Sunday morning and we'd find them (not always all of them!) and she'd go out and hide them again. We never tired of finding them over and over until the shells were all cracked. She made egg salad for the next day for us with what survived. When I got married, we had a neighborhood full of littles and I'd have any children interested in joining in over on Saturday to dye them. It could be a mess but was so much fun. I would get 12 dozen each year so all the kids could take them home with them. The busy parents were thankful that they could get dyed eggs. I know very few of my neighbors now and no children at all so I'm always tempted each year to just dye them on my own. Maybe next year...
