Easter Sunday

We had such a fun Easter this year.  The kids are at a great age for hunting eggs and the annual scavenger hunt turned out awesome.  Haley & Romelo spent the night on Saturday so they all woke up and did the hunt together.  Romelo and Haley took turns reading the clues that led them to their Easter baskets.  Then we headed outside to find the plastic eggs filled with treats and money.

Here they are, waiting to start the hunt, still waking up.

I really love scavenger hunts.  My mom did them for us on Easter and I love carrying on the tradition.  It was fun to put different presents at each location and see how excited they were.

Here is Ryder's new Spider Man sleeping back hiding in the closet and a Fancy Nancy sticker book for the girls.

Next clue leads us to art supplies and stamp markers in the fridge.

Reese found the wooden blocks on the sofa.  She was so happy!

Don't think that I made up these little rhymes and clues all by myself.  Wish I was that creative.  Maybe if I had given myself more time.  No, I found these nifty little clues on Pinterest.  I loved that they talked about Jesus' being alive as it's the most important thing about Easter.

Last clue led us to Easter baskets that me & Auntie Casey put together.  Girls had flower baskets...

and boys had sports and cars.

It's all about the cars.

They found all the clues.  Now it's time to HUNT!

Can we come outside yet?  I love the toothless grin.

Ryder had a blast hunting eggs and he was really good.  He found some tricky ones that I thought the older kids would get.  Side note: I love this new shirt he's wearing that says "Always Hungry".  He is. Always Hungry.  Reese & Ryan aren't big snackers but Ryder boy is.  He's always asking me for food.  He's like a mini Cory with a super charged metabolism.

Run, Reesey, Run!

Haley found the golden egg, Round 1.  It had $5 inside and she over the moon.

Here we are checking out our loot.

We had the rest of our family over around 11 for brunch and another egg hunt.  The weather was gorgeous and our food was waaaay too yummy.  It was the perfect day with family except we missed Grandma & Grandpa, who were in Las Vegas for the weekend.

Reese won the golden egg, Round 2.  It was all so exciting.

Ryan looks like she's going to snatch that money from Reese, but she truly was happy for her sister.

Mimi & Ryan.

All five of us together :)
