Easter

Are you ready to start the hunt?

The tradition in our home is to have an Easter Scavenger Hunt. The kids get their empty baskets (buckets) and start out with a rhyming riddle they have to solve in order to find where the goodies are hidden. A series of riddles takes them on a hunt around the house and yard.

Chloe is shown some eggs hidden in the piano bench.

She has fun inspecting them and rattling them. The bonus is when she accidentally breaks one open to find its full of jelly beans.

Chase and Caleb have fun solving riddles together.

Whoa! Look what was hidden in Chloe's crib. Both the big and small are equally excited.

"Hey Guys, what's in the mail box? More jellybeans? Wait for me!"

After the hunt, Jayden joined us for some egg coloring. Unfortunately, Hazel was very sick so the rest of the Hill family was unable to join us. Thanks for bringing Jayden over and so much yummy food.

Carter enjoys loading up on some yummy lunch even with just one hand.

Jim and Karin's family joined us for lunch. Elizabeth is enjoying some of the fruit, veggies, rolls and ham.

Jayden dishes up some delicious strawberries.

Anna and Chloe enjoy a picnic lunch on the grass in the sun.

In addition to brownies, trifle, a veggie tray, beverages, cold cuts and more, Karin baked dozens of adorable (and equally tasty) sugar cookies in all kinds of Easter shapes. All of the kids had a blast icing them and the dads had fun eating them.

Anna shares her cookie with her Daddy.

After the party ended, Chloe found Caleb's bucket and White Chocolate bunny.

Today after school, Caleb had fun trying out his new kite in the rain.
