That was so fun. All the beautiful eggs in all the colors of the rainbow...hot pink, turqoise, reddish, purple, aqua, lavender, yellow, green....

Mom would make potato salad with some of the eggs after Easter. The dye would get into the potato salad from the eggs sometimes. The salad would have little blotches of blue or pink sometimes. LOL. We didn't mind.
