Easter Continues

Since Michael, Jamie and Ashley had to work on Easter Sunday, I decided to have an Easter celebration on Monday. After everyone arrived, Michael and Jamie hid all the eggs in the yard while Violet and Lincoln were occupied opening a few gifts from the Easter bunny.

Trying to make everything as even as possible, I put Violet's name on some eggs and Lincoln's on the others.

Now Lincoln didn't care whose name was on the egg but Violet could recognize her name and got a little discouraged when she would find several eggs with Lincoln's name on them.

I really don't know who gets more excited about holidays, me or the kids.

Finding the eggs was fun but opening them afterwards gave me time for a special Easter egg hunt for the older kids. Michael, Ashley, Melissa and Jamie were each given a card with the same clues on them but they didn't know which clue was their hidden egg. The clues were "Wishy Washy" (hidden in the washing machine), "Pillow Talk" (hidden between the pillows on my bed), "Green Thumb" (hidden in one of my plants), and "P Diddy" (taped behind the toilet). I thought the clues were pretty obvious and easy, but they all had trouble finding the "P Diddy" egg. I love holidays but I'm beginning to run out of ideas for fun and games. I guess I could do the same thing next year and just claim my aging years as an excuse for not remembering!
