A tenuous connection

I try not to harp on about non-gardening subjects here at Law of the Land, but I rationalized there is some connection between gardening and this subject (eggs) - crushed eggshells make a good fertilizer, right?!

Our family has an Easter egg decorating contest every year. Here is my entry from this year:
The really dedicated egg decorators (read: me and Scott) poke a hole in each end of a real egg and blow out the contents (save the innards for scrambled eggs!). This way the decorated egg can last for years!

Here is Scott's AWESOME entry for this year: "Humpty Dumpty, before and after"
Here is my ET from about 5 years ago:

My mom is a ballroom dancer and has crazy blond hair. This is mom's autobiographical egg from a few years ago. Some people get really artistic! Here is an egg our friend Judy made at least 20 years ago that we still have. It is wrapped in embroidery thread.
Some of Scott's past eggs:

Some other past eggs (bunny cart, Jeremy; Bailey the cat, me; lamb, Penny; turtle, me):

A close-up of the lamb. This one is 15 or 20 years old. Katherine's eggs from the past couple of years. We sure missed her this year!Some people use plastic "eggs" instead. Here are one of my cousin Erin Raye's eggs and her brother Campbell's egg from this year. Campbell's is their cat, Butch:Here is Erin Raye's "Aunt on an Ant." How creative!

Here are my cousin Caleb's cute pig and dog eggs, and Penny's porcupine egg from this year.

I've never used fake eggs, but you sure couldn't do this with a real egg! Check out Dale's wiener dog! It won best overall!

Does your family have any fun Easter traditions?

UPDATE: My friends Karla and Nathan came to Easter but forgot their egg! She just e-mailed a picture of it to me after seeing this post. It's their baby, Natalia!
