Easter

I always love when Easter falls a little later in the year (or in April, at least) so that it at least feels spring like.

We got up early for church and then had our Egg Hunt in the backyard after we got back home. Since the kids are older, Ross set up a challenge for them... He said he had a talk with the Easter Bunny. The kids had a time limit, and then when their time was up, Ross had a shorter limit to go hunt down any eggs they missed. (In case you didn't know, we are not competitive in this family, at all...)

so, they were off...


Getting some last minute instructions and boundary information...




Zoey's moving so fast her hair is flying... (not really, it was super windy)




Ross, (I mean the Easter Bunny), even put eggs in a real nest... the kids didn't get these, I thought it was a little gross...



Uh oh! Time is running out!!


And then it was Ross's turn. I made him use Zoey's basket...



Every time he got an egg, the kids got REALLY nervous!


BUT, in the end, it wasn't even close. The kids had over a 100 more eggs. we are still even finding some in the yard whenever we mow.

And, not that the kids really believed in the Easter Bunny anymore, anyway, BUT Ross announces at the end, "Man, I found some good hiding spots for the eggs this year!" Zoey quickly got her proof and shared this knowledge with Max who just said, "the Easter Bunny is real, He's just at Frisch's Big Boy!" (a local restaurant)





And, just some more "artsy" pictures of Ross and his basket:)




Happy Easter, Alleluia
