Grandma’s Easter Party

On Friday night we headed down to the farm so we would be there Saturday morning for Grandma’s annual Easter party.  All of Waylon’s cousins came over so we had a good group of kiddos.

We started the festivities with egg dying.

Then the kids played downstairs while Grandpa and the dads hid the eggs. The kids were excited to begin!

Ready, set, go!

They made an easy section for the babies.  I guess I really should stop calling them the babies since they are two years old now!

I went and found Bug in the big kid section.  She was so excited.  She LOVES egg hunts.  Last year she asked me to hide eggs every day for weeks before Easter.  I would put her snack in them (fruit snacks, goldfish, ect.) and let her have at it.  This year I didn’t even get the Easter decorations out of the basement!  Our house has just been too much of a disaster to add to the chaos.  Next year I guess. :{

Grandma always has two special eggs: one gold, one silver.  They have money in them and are hidden VERY well.  We finally had to gather the kids in one area and tell them the gold egg was nearby. It was IN the end of one of the railroad ties. The oldest girl found it.

Ta da!

They went inside to sort out their loot. :)

Then it was time for lunch.  Boo barely made it through lunch before she was ready for an early nap so she missed the rest of the festivities.  She had asked me at 11:00 if she could take a nap!  It’s hard work finding all those eggs!

After lunch the kids got to decorate cupcakes with all kinds of fun candies.

Easter basket!

The last activity of the day was piñatas.  One of the families had made giant paper mache eggs.  Bug gave it a good whack and the candy came tumbling out.

After that the kids stayed outside playing and running, and chasing each other for another hour.  Bug was definitely tired by the time they all left!  What a fun party!  Thanks Grandma and Auntie Danae for all your hard work!
