Easter Egg Hunt!!

My Aunt Donna & Uncle Jerry have graciously held an annual Easter Egg hunt at their house since like FOREVER!! I can even remember hunting eggs there. (Well even when I was little...there were a few years, when we were really short on little kids, and the teenagers were counted as kids, and had to find eggs.) Fortunately, the next generation of little people has really started to grow!

Every year before the start of the hunt all the kids have to line up on the stairs for an annual picture. Little Clayton barley made this picture, but he is in there! I had a few more of him completely on the steps, but other kids had escaped at that time...so this is the best one I have of everyone! Some how we are all a little related...even if its through cousins' counsin's kids, etc. Every year if fun to get together!!

Brooke did a great job finding the eggs, and adding them to her basket. She was so excited every time she saw one! Fortunately, there was about 150 plastic eggs hidden, so lots to go around. The trick is to count them all at the end, and see how close to the 150 you can get! (The adults are sent out at the end to find those missing eggs.)

I really did try to cut out lots of pictures, however it was just so hard to choose!!

"Look at that one."

Dadda even helped with a few of the higher ones!

"Wow is that really two eggs!!"

We were so excited the weather ended up turning out to be beautiful!
