Decorating Christmas trees is not enough. The tradition has been started to now decorate the tree at Easter time as well. Grandma Pam and Bill brought over Easter eggs to hang from the tree in the front yard. Jackson had a blast hanging them and deciding which color should be tied to each branch. Since they have been hanging he's also getting a kick out of batting them around.
The eggs have been hard-boiled, so next up is dying. Anyone know of a natural way to dye eggs? The shells of eggs are porous and I don't like the idea of ingesting the chemicals that are used in egg dyes. Perhaps I will be using blueberries and beets this year?
There should be a green one here, please!

When Jackson told me "We couldn't have Easter because the tree wasn't decorated yet"...I had to take action! We had a blast hanging the eggs right where he told us to. There maybe too many of the same colors in one spot, but Jackson was happy with the outcome and that is all that matters.
Russ and I saw a news bit on dyeing eggs with natural sources like blueberries and beets, but the person said do not eat them. In my opinion, the membrane inside the shell protects the actual egg part from any issues with dyes.
