After church on Sunday we joined up with some Slovaks and Americans for an Easter Egg Hunt. I helped hide the eggs (and may or may not have hidden five or so of them a little TOO well...haha).
It was big fun watching the kids go for the eggs and enjoy the candy afterwards. Jas and I are looking forward to being parents :)
Did I mention Sonya had prepared 130 eggs! That's right...130 amazingly colorful eggs.
The egg-searching gang.
This lil guy was nestled in some grass just a-waitin' to be found.
And of course, after all the egg-citement (yes, I just went there ;) Jas and I wanted to try our own hand at dying eggs. Not just any ole eggs though, these were brown eggs. I had never dyed brown eggs before, so this was a first.
We did crack a few in the process (turns out we're either tough on eggs or they're not as resilient as white eggs), but then we let them sit in the color for a loooong time. They turned out quite vibrant (and a bit streaky haha).
Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!
I love the eggs. We usually dye eggs every year. Saw some being done on Martha Stewart ~ she used lace to cover the eggs and then dip. They were gorgeous...if only mine would turn out as nice. But I will try.
