We had a long weekend of Easter fun. On Friday we had an Easter party with our friends next door. It was awesome - our kids loved it! We dyed eggs, had a yummy dinner, and then had a quick (goes fast with nine kids!) egg hunt. Way, way too much sugar was ingested by the littles that night. We also put puzzle pieces in the plastic eggs for the kids to assemble, but they were more interested in eating candy and playing Star Wars, so the grown-ups put it together (we were not as awesome as we thought we were, just slow). Oh, and I can't forget the delicious carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. Yep, it gets its own, personal shout out. Yum.
The big kids dyed a few eggs, but surprisingly it was the younger crowd that was the most interested. Unfortunately, they were also the crowd most likely to accidentally drop their eggs.
Paul and I were stuffing plastic eggs for the hunt, and the boys really, really, really wanted to see the goods...
We also had a family egg hunt on Sunday...

Better hurry Lt! Here comes D!
He must have spotted something (but overlooked that green egg on the fence...)!
No worries. Boss is on clean up duty.
And the trickiest egg of all to find was hidden under the sprinkler. Whew! Got them all!
Happy Easter! Maybe some day soon all the plastic eggs will have matches so I can put them away until next year (I'm OCD that way).
