Annual Walla Cousin Egg Dye

Every year we get together with the Walla cousins to dye Easter eggs. Every year it seems like quite the production. I often wonder if there is a simpler more peaceful way to go about it, but I think the only way to make it simple and peaceful would be to take the little guys out of the equation, (but where is the adventure in that?). In any case, it was a madhouse!.....We are sort of assuming that Ben thought the eggs were balls so he just kept launching them (much to the despair of the girls, who preferred to have their eggs un-cracked). Zion appeared to be truly into it, but he repeatedly either kicked the dye tubs over on accident or would simply pick them up and pour them out while no one was looking. All poor Tara wanted to do was make tie-dye eggs, of course we had only one tie-dye piece, and Eden just kept badgering her for a turn. Plus Eden somehow was not into getting the dye all over her hands so she needed some help that she just could not get to save her life cause we were all playing referee (or taking pictures (: ). All in all, of course we had a blast and I would not have it any other way. And to top it off Tracy made a bunch of sugar cookies for the kids to decorate which was probably their favorite part. 









Eden and Tara made the Happy Easter signs and hung them up on the table for us.






The outer two are Zion's creation - you can tell cause there is a bite missing from each.
