Easter Eggs & Empty Graves

Easter mornings at our house always consist of church, an egg hunt where we are each assigned a specific number of eggs to find, and of course, dyeing Easter eggs.  It is always special to not only celebrate this holiday but the meaning behind it; this year was no exception.  When it came time to dyeing the Easter eggs, I could not help but snap a couple of pictures and managed to capture a few key moments.

The counters were covered, eggs set out, and dye prepared.

 Candy is crucial to any egg decorating session.

Kevin decided to be artsy and draw on his egg with a white crayon before dyeing it. 
 Looks like someone may need to wash their hands though.

 The egg dye was not as strong as we had hoped so it took a bit of

patient waiting, sprinkles, and food coloring to properly dye our eggs.

 Just receiving a little advice from the expert.

A couple of the eggs cracked along the way...

But Brian saw it as the perfect opportunity to have a snack.

And of course Dad had to record everything on his ancient video camera. 

 But overall the eggs truned out pretty cute.

Easter weekend was a success and wonderful time to refocus before finals.  Our pastor showed a neat video during the church service called "Reverse Thinking" and I encourage y'all to check it out if you have the chance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgFU5Ak88-k&feature=related!
