Easter Eggs!!!!!

This week is my siblings spring break. Megan decided to go to St. George with her friend and Bryan decided to stay home, chill with the parents, and play with Daniel Mickelson. One of the things my wonderful Mom decided to do to entertain the boys was to dye easter eggs! She bought 5 dozen eggs (I know that seems like a lot....but it's never enough!!!) and invited Eric and I over to help dye them.

Now you have to understand our redneck family tradition to understand why 5 dozen eggs is never enough. We live in Logan, Utah and every year at Easter time, there is a tradition (not just our family's tradition) to roll easter eggs down Old Main Hill. Soooooo redneck and soooooo much fun!!!! I'll post pictures from this years eggs rolling adventures!!!

So in preparation for this wildly fun tradition, Eric and I went over to my parents house to dye eggs. Eric was skeptical, he said he hadn't dyed eggs for a long time, and I'm sure he thought it was more of a children's activity. But he quickly got into the spirit of it all and before we knew it we had a whole collection of..... BATMAN EGGS!

Now, if you don't know a lot about Batman, let me name the characters for you, starting from the top left. Batman, Robin, Nightwing (who is Robin all grown up), Joker, and Two-Face. Then starting on the next row on the left: Mr. Freeze, The Riddler, Penguin, Killer Croc, and last of all Poison Ivy.

I love my husband sooooo much!!! We both had a ton of fun creating Batman easter eggs. We both got a kick out of how good they turned out! My favorite is Two-Face!
