All five of us colored a few eggs. The kids each did three eggs, Jerrod did five and I colored four of them. Jerrod did one with a toothpick and in a way "painted" on the color. It turned out really neat! I dipped one back and forth between the purple and pink and it turned out really cool also.
We also this year instead of using one of the store bought egg dye kits, I made my own. I found the recipe via the Wilton website. All you do is take the following ingredients, mix together and bingo you have egg dye color!! The recipe for it is as follows:

| Gabryle showing Daddy his egg |
Wilton food color (or any other brand food color)
3/4 cup HOT water
1 tbsp vinegar
hard boiled eggs
1. mix the food coloring into the hot water till well
mixed. You can use as little or as much as you
desire.
2. Add the vinegar and stir well.
3. Dip the eggs into the water mixture till desired color is on the egg.
Voila there you go! You have colored eggs. We did today Pink, Green, Purple and yellow. Kylie's favorite is pink. Mackenzie colored one of hers just purple and it turned out to be a beautiful purple color! Gabryle showed me which ones to put his eggs in and they turned out pretty neat. I'll remember next year for sure to do the eggs this way again.
