Hope everyone had a good Easter weekend! Sam's all time favorite Easter gift seems to be the Spiderman umbrella, which he'd actually gotten the day before Easter from the McCarragher's but had to be in the Easter morning picture, and has been the first thing he's reached for every morning since! (Lily really liked it too, as you'll see in a later video.) She may have to get a pink one for herself!
Those naughty fingers at the end belong to Sam. He's says "Sorry, let me try again."
The kids were supposed to open the eggs and make piles of the loot, which would be later divided up evenly and fairly. But Sam kept popping every chocolate he opened right into his mouth, and Lily just liked throwing the eggs in the bucket, she didn't care to open them first. Will happened to have all the 5 dollar bills in his pile, so he hoped he was coming away $25 richer, but he really knew that he only got to keep one of those! Everyone had a great time! Jack decided that this year he was too old to hunt for eggs, so he hid them with Grandma and Grandpa, but he still wanted his pile of loot at the end, (of course!)
Sunday afternoon we went over to the Brown grandparents and the kids got to do another egg hunt with the Cole kids. This time, since Will had caught on that Jack had hid eggs this year, Will decided he'd like to hide the eggs. So he and Shelly hid eggs for everyone else to find. I guess each job is fun! Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my camera! ....and our boys were wearing matching shirts that day too! Oh well.

WOW! It looks like you had a fabulous Easter celebration. It was kinda funny that Jack didn't hunt this year---we have 3 older than him and they were ALL in the hunt. The best part is, I was worried that the boys would totally clean up and leave nothing for hte girls, but it was the other way around. I think the adults coached the girls a little and they got double what the boys did. There was some whining then!
I would like to add an Easter tip/tradition. We boil and dye our eggs and leave them on the table, so they cannot be eaten. When the boys were like 3 and 4 Tim started a twisted tradition that has been embrassed and live on to this day. The very best part of our Easter egg hunt is after all the loot has been divided. Then we all head to a tree--not too close to the house-- and start hurling the eggs!! Those babies really explode and the boys, of course, relish the destruction. Just a thought :)
I am predicting that with one more grandchild next year, I am going down during the group hug!!!
Carrie your egg throwing tradition is funny, yet disturbing! My boys would see that as a very practical use for the eggs, since they're not going to eat them anyway. I, on the other hand, enjoy a good egg salad sandwich, or a hard boiled egg added to my dinner salad.
