Easter Sunday

Our kids are so lucky.  They get 2 easter egg hunts every year.  The first is in our basement, you never know what Utah weather will be like on Easter, and the second is at Grandpa and Grandma's house.  Every year I color code the eggs for each child so that no one gets more eggs than anyone else and so the little kids can find their eggs without too much help.
This year we had church at 9:00 so we decided to wait until after church for the Hunt.  We had a couple of unhappy kids, but I was not going to wake up little sleeping girls when they could do it later.  After church I made them take a family picture before they trashed their Easter clothes.  I made skirts for the girls and ties for the boys.  Love how they all color coordinate with each other without being too matchy matchy.

Then it was on to the Hunt!

Hunter was just a wee bit excited.

 First they have to find their baskets.  Hunter and Michela's are getting harder to find each year.  Love making them work for their stuff!  

They got shirts or skirts in their baskets, a book (of course), a big bubble wand, and some chocolate.  Laina's eggs were all in plain sight.  After finding one she just wanted to open it, she didn't really care about finding more.  Most of her eggs had puffs or yogurt bites, but one had jellybeans.  She tried to cram the entire pile of jellybeans into her mouth at once!

Chase found his eggs quickly.  I think he and Hunter
sneaked down for a peek in the morning.

Time to open the Eggs.

After a few short hours it was time to go to Grandpa and Grandma's for dinner.  Of course they couldn't wait for the Easter Egg Hunt.  The Dads all go out and hide the eggs.  And then it is time to let the cousins loose.

Chase found a Golden Egg.

 Thanks to Peggy and Lynette for the awesome Easter Egg Hunt.  The kids were in candy bliss the whole ride home.
