Decorating eggs

On Saturday afternoon, we decided to dye some eggs with Avery.  We figured that she was old enough to help out and enjoy it.  I had read on pinterest that you can bake your eggs and they turn out perfectly cooked without brown egg yolks.  Well, it definitely didn't turn out like I hoped.  About 3 minutes before my timer went off, I heard cracking coming from the oven.  When I checked, there were cracked pieces of egg shell on the bottom of the oven and brown splotches all over my eggs. Pinterest FAIL!!!  Once I soaked the eggs in some water, I was able to salvage 11 out of 18.  I wish I had a picture to post of how the eggs looked in my oven.  It looked and smelled just lovely!

Nailed it!

Avery was more than eager to start so I let her chose the first color to use.

Her masterpieces

A few eggs had some cracks so I figured the best way to pretty them up would be to add some stickers!

Having such a great time

The final product- not too shabby!
Now we were ready for Easter morning!
