Maybe I'm the Easter grinch, but it kind of occured to me this year that I'm not totally in love with this tradition. I read a dozen Pinterest ideas about using all natural ingredient to dye eggs.... It looked like a lot of work and I just found I wasn't feeling up to the task. I settled on a dollar store tablet dye, as usual. Then I DID try to get fancy using the shaving cream with food dye to create a 'swirl' effect on the shell. Psh. Please, people. It created a very sweet swirl effect on my kids' skin for quite some time, but it didn't do much to the eggs. Nonetheless, these girls loved all ten minutes of their egg dye-ing experience. Even Amberlie took full control of dunking her egg into the chosen color, and then redunking her sister's eggs into various colors when they weren't looking.
