Val had the wonderful idea to have an Easter Egg hunt for our kids this year! She made the eggs, I cleaned the backyard, we all invited a friend and everyone brought yummy snacks to share. There were 8 kiddos and 12 adults and we had a blast in our tiny Norfolk yard (free of dog droppings after 4 rounds of scooping this week!!!)
J Man and I did some rehearsing this afternoon since I knew he would have NO idea what an Easter egg hunt is. He does love to clean up, however, so I thought I could capitalize on the "clean up and put all the eggs in the basket." He finally grasped the concept of carrying the basket, so I hid some eggs around the house for him to find.
Once he found a few of them, he thought it was time for an egg toss!
We walked around the block and went to practically everyone's front door...wrong holiday, buddy. Gotta wait a few months for that one, but I'm glad you understand it for this coming year!
Then we came back and he proceeded to act as the Easter Bunny (but not a very clever one), hiding all the eggs in one spot in the front flower garden.
Everyone arrived and we attempted to get a group shot (like herding cats) before the festivities began.

The best part of the afternoon was eating cheerios that fell into some dirt.

I love this face
Eli, counting his loot...and there was a lot in that basket. He had to empty and go back for round 2!

We had a great day. Happy Easter, everyone!
Mark 16: 4-7
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”
