Easter 2010

We had a fun Easter.

Anna got the baskets out the night before, and prepped all the eggs with bunny shaped marshmallows. The kids also each got an Easter bunny pezz dispenser (except Tegan, she got Cinderella).

After breakfast and getting dressed, the kids went out to hunt for eggs. I hid them while they were dressing. Most of the eggs were pretty easy to find. The ones that were at eye level were the last to be found because their eyes were always looking down. We played "Hot and Cold" to help them find the last few eggs.

Our video camera hasn't worked in a while, so Anna used the video setting on her camera a lot, and I used a cheep generic "flip" type video recorder I got at Big Lots for like $30. The really grainy pictures are from the "Jazz" camera.

Here's a couple of the eggs found via "hot and cold".


Almost more than he can carry!

Looking everywhere...

Now she's just taking pictures instead of video...




After all the eggs had been found!



Egg counting.



Then we headed off to McAlister's for more Easter fun. Here's what it looked like for the egg hunt there. The youngest kids come out first till they're all out. And everything is found. There's even eggs for the adults. (Cadburry eggs and a golden egg with a Tommy's gift cert. inside.)

After being at the McAlister's for a bunch of the day, we headed on down to the Foutz compound and hung out there as well. No egg hunting, just visiting. Had some great food all day!

Thanks to everyone for making it such a fun day!
