eggies! (part two)

The Easter Bunny hopped right through our house tonight!

Dave is so kind to humor me when it comes to family "traditions."  In October, he puts on a brave face and scoops out pumpkin guts to carve a jack-o-lantern.  At Christmastime he dutifully puts sprinkles on frosted cookies as I forbid him from eating any. (They are for lunches). And in the Spring, he dyes Easter eggs.

This year we got a big carried away and dyed an entire carton of eighteen eggs!  At first I only boiled nine.  Dave asked if that was it.  He told me he would eat at least five tonight. (He has yet to eat one.  I think his eyes were bigger than his stomach.)

We might be eating a lot of egg salad in the near future.

Dave has some pretty creative egg dying techniques.  He loves to use candle wax to create a spotted effect.  They turned out very pretty.

Here are Dave's favorite eggs...

 

...and my favorites.

 

...a Winn family tradition.  "Meg's Egg and Jack's Crack...
