Easter Eggs

My mother came over Monday morning to play with Layla while I decorated Easter eggs. We love to decorate eggs each year. Somehow we always seem to run out of eggs before we run out of design ideas.
My mother makes her perfect hard boiled eggs by placing her eggs In a large pot, covering them with water and bringing them to a boil. Once the water boils, she sets a timer for six minutes. When the six minutes are up mom turns the stove off and lets the eggs rest in the hot water for an additional six minutes.  After that, she immediately rinses them with cold water. Then they are ready to decorate.
We kept our decorating pretty simple this year compared to other years. What did you do? Are you easter eggs works of art? Masterpieces worthy of the Sistine Chapel? Or did you keep things simple using farm fresh eggs and natural vegetable dyes? Either way I'd love to hear it and see your egg decorating pictures!
