Easter Eggstravaganza!

We had Easter lunch at our house with friends from church and their kids. About 7 couples and their kids make for an exciting afternoon. I didn't take any pictures of all the food we had - I was too busy enjoying seconds (and possibly thirds) of many (most) things. But I did snap a picture of my carrot cutlery! Saw the idea on pinterest a few days before Easter and thought it looked easy. It was simple to do and didn't have to be perfect at all...The hardest part was finding orange napkins...Doug got sent out on a reconnaissance mission the afternoon before and came back with two packs!

Here's a quick glimpse into the actual egg hunt. I know the backyard looks littered with toys but since we have absolutely nothing in our back yard to hide the eggs - we put lots of toys in the yard and then hid eggs over/under/around them. It was still basically a free for all for the kids and a fun picture opportunity for the parents.

Katie took full advantage of her "home court" status and collected tons of eggs...Not to mention she had an age bias working in her favor!

If there's an egg anywhere to be found in this picture, I certainly can't spot it. I'm too distracted by the insane double dose of cuteness from these boys! (And PS - there were actually eggs right by them...They weren't wandering aimlessly.)

While there were still plenty of eggs left to be found, these two girls took a break from hunting to start going through their baskets. They certainly both already had enough and could spare leaving the rest of the eggs to other kids.

To the victor goes the spoils! Chocolate and peanut butter are this girl's best friend - although she wasn't a fan of the heat melting the foil onto the chocolate. Good thing her dress had enough of a pattern on it to hide all the chocolate hand prints.

Yep - this is it. Definitely the best photo of all the kids. Is even one of them looking at the camera? Didn't think so. And is one kid totally missing? You betcha!

We managed to go through all of Easter Sunday without a family picture of the three of us and zero pictures without Katie's hair in her face since she tossed the bow as soon as we got home. Doug would likely call that a successful day for him - but I was sort of bummed not having at least one family shot. It's probably for the best though...I've put on a few pounds lately (smile) and am not looking my best!
