We had a pretty low key Easter this year. I've had a nasty cold+ allergies for the past 10 days or so and I just have no energy. So it had to be mellow! The kids were anxiously awaiting the chance to go downstairs.
Then they found their Easter baskets and had fun with their loot. The favorites this year were squirt guns for the older boys, fake nails, My Little Pony necklaces and lipstick pens for the girls and a wind up toy for Adam. Both Adam and Colin got blow up swords and they think those are pretty cool too. Thomas also got a haul of food because, well, he eats a ton and the Easter Bunny was exhausted and running out of ideas. I hear that happens sometimes.
We had a grand total of 135 eggs hidden around the main floor. We thought it'd take a while. NOPE. It was about oh maybe 15 minutes tops. We had to help them with the last few eggs but otherwise it was all them. Adam really got into it and had fun. We had 15 mini eggs filled with 1 fruit snack each which were his to find. He was all over that!
Afterwards they all had a good time coloring, playing with their little toys, etc.
Later that day we went to Nana and Grandpas for another egg hunt. The eggs were color coded by family and each kid got to find 12. Next year we need to let the little ones go first because we let them loose and the other kids found their eggs as fast as they could- because they grabbed all the easy ones. Poor Leah had to have a lot of help. Adam was just happy to be there!
Sunday we watched more of conference and then had a great Easter dinner at Grammie & Papas!
