On Saturday afternoon before Easter, Eli and Mommy and Grandma got out all the egg dyeing supplies and went to town! We had 5 dozen eggs to dye so we had plenty to amuse ourselves with and try out different creations. Elijah liked using the magic crayon, and the first eggs he made were for Lexi (a pink one), and Tori (an orange one). Then Eli died some for himself and then Aunt Lori and Uncle Jeff each got an egg too. He grudgingly agreed to dye one for Matea too, but I had to push that. :) The biggest hit were the "egghicles" (that's how the package spelled it). We had a kit which came with stickers and wheels to turn the eggs into a police car, fire truck, police car, ambulance, and school bus. Eli had me put on the stickers and then he played with egg cars for the longest time. Who knew a hard boiled egg and some stickers would entertain a 3 year old for so long?!? I was busy dyeing eggs myself and kind of forgot to get many pictures, oops! We had a fun time and our eggs turned out really cool!

Checking progress is very important to get the right color.
The oh-so-delicate egg transfer! We lost quite a few . . .

Posing, er, singing with our eggs! Eli was rather excited!

I can't wait to do eggs again next year!

Look at those long arms! I think Eli has grown much taller since we saw him last time. Love, Grandma Amanda
