Easter Egg Hunts 2019

Saturday, April 20th, 2019:

The day was going to be busy. We started off the morning at the Arnold Easter party and then moved to the Harvey Easter party in the afternoon.

I made a bunny cake for the Arnold Easter party. Which no one ate. The kids searched high and low for eggs and actually found quite a few. The one thing about the Arnold egg hunt is change is hidden in most eggs, and at the end everyone is supposed to end up with the same amount of money. And so Grandma is so concerned with going around and making each person count there money and then giving some of it to other kids if they didn't have enough. And I honestly think that it is ok for not every kid to have the same amount of money. Other kids work super hard to find the eggs and others don't. And they should be allowed to keep that reward. Plus Grandma puts a name on an egg for each grandchild, which is theirs only.

Anyway, the kids had fun. We ended up taking Ukulele and he did pretty good.

Then they played some games. I think throwing darts was their favorite.


















































































The Harvey Easter Party:

We ate lunch, and by the time we started setting up for the egg hunt I thought it would rain on us.
The kids really love egg hunts. For this egg hunt Jake and I brought 4 dozen eggs, and my aunts and uncles also brought a couple dozen eggs, so Julies entire yard was COVERED.
Jake and I also brought an extra special egg. It was a huge one filled with money.
Brayla ended up finding it. We also did birthdays for February, March, and April. So William got some presents and Jake got a couple of cards.
