Lily helped get the Easter egg dye ready, and then both of the kids got to dunk their eggs in the cups. Dylan thought the eggs were balls, so he was really excited to drop them in the dye. Lily was very interested in choosing which colors to put the eggs in and for how long, which made the egg coloring more fun for us than in previous years. We also used crayons to decorate a couple of the eggs before dyeing them.
After we were done coloring the eggs, Lily wanted to eat one. She only started to like eating eggs in the last six months or so, and I think she's only tried hard-boiled egg once before and didn't really care for it - she prefres scrambled. But this time she gobbled up her Easter egg... I'm sure the pretty color made it seem extra tasty! After the night we colored the eggs, she kept going into the fridge over the next few days, getting her own egg out to peel and eat. We'll have to boil eggs for snacks more often.
Here are some of our finished eggs, excluding the ones that Daddy and Lily ate right away.
