Easter Egg Hunt




Last weekend we had our third annual Easter Egg hunt. In the past years a lot of people I invited weren't able to come due to traveling or other plans. For some reason this year every person I invited said they were coming. In the days leading up to the hunt I started panicking. We had over 50 people coming. I had visions of not having enough eggs (I had 400) or starting the hunt and then people coming late and some kids missing everything. Poor Nate spent a good five days listening to me worry. This usually happens before every event I host. It turned out really well. The weather was awesome and all the kids had fun.
Dex spent most of the day sleeping. He also wasn't impressed with his outfit. I thought putting chicks on him would make him feel a little festive, but once again I have a child who doesn't care about the clothes I pick out.
I set up a bubble table to give the kids something to do before and after the egg hunt. It turned out to be a great idea.
Asher informed me that his bucket was not a hat and I had to take it off my head.


Here is a shot of the beginning of the egg hunt.

Asher only got 5 eggs, because he insisted on only looking for the blue ones. He also wanted to open each one when he found it.
