Easter Egg Hunt

I had my second yearly Easter egg hunt the day before Easter and it was a blast! The kids were so fun to watch. I filled hundreds of eggs with toys and candy (my apologies to the Moms) When the kids got here I had baskets for them to decorate with foam stickers. When all were here and done with the decorating we let them loose in the back yard


by age group :)


they searched and searched till there were no more. Funny side note; after Harrison spotted the egg on the door, he shook the door till the egg fell... and broke open





Elijah and Bella were downstairs playing when we sent the kids out so I walked around and asked the kids if I could take a few back so they could collect them when we figured out they were missing. All were kind enough to share!


all baskets were at least this full! Every kids dream!


Checking out the treasures that wait inside!



Next it was time for the egg fight, a tradition in my family growing up, heck even after Easter if we wanted to eat a boiled egg we tried to find someone to egg fight with! I even remember when

I had no one willing or around I would egg fight my self... I wonder if I was the only one who did that...

The expert, teaching the youngins



There were 3 gold and 3 silver eggs that has a # in them which corresponded to a big prize, the way things were shared I think all were winners though!






Finally as they were leaving I had one more gift for all the kids,


a 3D cookie! these cookies are about 5 in tall and who knows how thick! I had such a blast making them and wish I had had more dough and time to make the adults one also. Hopefully they got the kids to share with them! I know of one child who didnt wait till he got home to eat his... or the plastic to come off for that matter!

Every one of my nieces and nephews came, thank you all! thanks to the parents for getting them there and thank you Daniel for the wonderful pictures!

I cant wait for next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
