Easter Egg Hunt!

So this year we had an easter egg hunt at my parents house. We had 4 other families come along for the fun. We had 248 eggs some with candy some with money and some well....empty..hehehe! The kids had so much fun. We did two rounds, one with kids 8 and younger and one with the 8 and up. Chloe didn't quite know what to do with herself. She was really excited. Her best friend Tessa was there and they were glued at the hip. Chloe found 18 eggs in 5 mins...she got quite a few with candy and $8.00 and NO empty ones...she was too smart for that...she picked up a few empty ones...shook em and them threw them back down...my kind of gir...looking for the money ones! She also found the golden egg which is hidden the hardest (By Grandpa...the engineer...who thinks they need to work for the $) and it had $3 in it for the little ones and $5 for the older ones. Kids running around the back yard!

As you see in this photo my father is on the left and he is hiding the golden egg for the older kids INSIDE the old bee trap!!!! Yeah you have to take off the bottom and reach in to the filled jar of DEAD BEES! Real nice huh? Yeah he is creative alright! He also put some in the pool on boogie boards so they were floating and the kids had to use the broom to fetch them out! He thinks he is funny! Ok maybe he is!

So after a while Chloe, Tessa and Ella got bored hunting eggs and decided to go and jump on the trampoline, they thought that was much more fun!

Easter morning was slow as usual. With most of us being adults we dont care to open baskets or get up early so we slowly roll out of bed. We stayed the night at my parents house and my siblings woke up at 6 am and we running around upstairs....luckily Chloe slept till 7:30 she doesnt see the point in waking up early yet either! Thank HEAVENS! My father opted out of being there to open baskets this year...he was too tired and figured what was one missed year...PARTY POOPER! So we let him sleep while the kids excitedy opened their baskets. The are obssessed with these new Webkinz...have you heard of them? If not they are these stuffed animals that have a tag with an internet access number to this Webkinz website where you can play games based on the animal you have etc...pretty lame for $13 if you ask me but since my mom was getting my siblings one I knew Chloe would be sad if she didnt get one...so I gave in and got her the stupid Koala bear Webkinz...she loves it though and they have played with them everyday since they got them! In all, another good easter...and very nice to be able to spend it with my family!
