This is our first Easter in our new house and in our new neighborhood. And boy do they know how to do it. The four houses at the end of our cul de sac was where the hunt was set up. The yards were split up into ages of 0-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10 plus. Each house had 200 eggs, a grocery sack of candy just randomly thrown out on the lawn and a prize/toy for each kid. A ton of people from our ward came so there where people everywhere and kids everywhere too. It was really fun. Here a some pics we took.
This pic is our house. We had the 7-9 age. It really doesn't look like much, but a lot of the eggs are hidden.
Here are the other three houses. This one is the 4-6 ages
This one is the 10 plus house
And this one is the 0-3 house.
This is just some of the people waiting for the games to start
Wells started to creep onto the lawn before it started. As you can see the girls are wondering why he is not following the rules.
Wells would pick up one egg at a time, open it, examine the contents of the egg, hand it to me and ask me to open the candy, eat it, then put the empty egg into his basket... and then move onto the next egg and start all over. Needless to say we walked away with about five eggs :)
After the egg hunt we had pizza and home made root beer floats. Yum.
I feel so blessed to live in such a great neighborhood, in such a beautiful state, and in a country where we can celebrate our religious freedoms.
I'm so grateful for Easter Egg hunts and all the fun that surrounds it, but I'm even more grateful for what Easter truly means. How bless I am to have a Savior who died and was resurrected for me. He is truly the ultimate example of the person I can strive to be.
Okay one last cute picture of Wells playing on his bike before the hunt.
