It was a huge deal for us. Not dying Easter eggs would be like not having a Christmas tree.
W and I will be dying them later this morning. We're going to try using regular food coloring instead of the Paas kit this year. I want some bright eggs! Then tomorrow morning I'll make them into deviled eggs.
I currently have 2 dozen eggs I bought weeks ago so they'd be ready boil and dye. HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA today is M's birthday party. Like I'm actually going to feel like boiling and dying eggs tomorrow. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Dying eggs was a tradition for me growing up. I haven't gotten a kit yet so maybe we're skipping it this year. I'm looking forward to the deviled eggs but I can't say I enjoy hard boiled eggs much.

Someone hold me.
Lol, it's rough when someone has a birthday close to a holiday!
Don't I know it, yo (birthday 3 days after Christmas).
And just so you don't think I'm racist against white eggs:
In New England, brown eggs became the preference because they were local, and therefore fresh. During the long New England winters, when short cold days cut short the supply of these brown eggs, white eggs from more southern states would be shipped into New England stores, but these eggs became known as “storage eggs” and were often less than fresh. New Englanders looked forward to the days when their own hens, the Rhode Island Reds and their offspring, New Hampshire Reds, would again be laying fresh brown eggs.

Yes, we always did it. This year we tried out a bunch, but I like the super bright ones the best. We did marble from a package - didn't turn out well, do the shaving cream kind instead. We did glitter ones and the super bright ones. We also tried out the plastic walmart eggs that say you can dye them like real eggs. Can NOT. They float and they don't pick up dye well. We colored on those with markers instead.
Usually my SD is here for easter so we dye them together. She isn't this year but we are still doing it.
Lame story about me, when I graduated college and moved ten hours from home I called my parents and we colored eggs over the phone(I was mega homesick)
It was for us. I tried to convince my daughters that they didn't really want to dye eggs this year, but it didn't work. Bah humbug! The eggs are boiling right now.
