Hunting Easter Eggs

After dessert was enjoyed by all, the kids grabbed their Easter baskets and headed to the backyard to begin their much-awaited Easter egg hunt! Given the age differences of the kids, we decided to let Jackson, Olivia and Jillian to go first and get a few minutes of hunting before we released the older kids. We knew Oliver, Sofia and Chandler would zip around and pick up most of the eggs, so we wanted to be sure the little ones collected their fair share. Jackson, Olivia and Jillian had so much fun looking for eggs and did a great job noticing some that weren't very obvious. They were so cute to watch!

The older kids got the all clear to go and raced around the yard looking for eggs. Of course, there were so many eggs for each of the kids to find that they all were busy for awhile looking and finding eggs. They did a great job and once we were sure that all the eggs were found, the kids sat at the outdoor table and went through their eggs, finding candy, toys and numbers to use to pull from the prize basket that Connie put together. The kids had so much fun picking out goodies from the prize basket as well as going through and trying out all their candies and toys. Despite all the kids looking and even most of the adults taking a final look around, we somehow missed finding the grand prize egg! We all looked again and still couldn't find any other eggs around the yard. Finally, CK put the numbers into his hat and had the kids pull out a number with whoever picking the highest receiving the grand prize of the chocolate bunny. Chandler ended up winning it but then decided he didn't want it because he didn't want the chocolate. Instead, he picked out another prize and was happy.

Just as we finished, it was time to say goodbye to Cynthia, Jay and the cousins and we all gave them hugs and kisses goodbye. The cousins had such a great time together and I really love watching Chandler and Sofia together as well as Sofia and how sweet she is with Jackson. Of course, Olivia and Jillian are best buddies and have such a special bond. We had a great time with them all and were sorry to say goodbye! That night both girls fell asleep extra early and slept great after such a fun weekend with cousins!

The kids are ready to get started!
