easter

We hosted a little Easter celebration at our house today, complete with an indoor egg hunt! Zack, Jennifer, and Jordan and Jonathan, Chelsea and Evelyn were our obliging guests.

The festivities began with a little bucket decorating so that everyone had appropriate egg collection gear.

After the buckets were sufficiently decorated, the hunt began. The older girls looked for eggs in the playroom downstairs while Evelyn got to search the living room floor for her treasures.
Can you spy the blue egg?

Some of the eggs had jelly beans, but others held a much more exciting surprise for Madeline. The Easter Bunny had left her a word puzzle to solve in order to find the basket of goodies he had left for all the girls. Inside the "puzzle" eggs were letters that each had a number written on the back. Madeline put the letters in their corresponding numbered spots on the puzzle sheet and it said...


Off to the kitchen she ran and found the Easter Bunny's goodies to share with all the girls.

I wonder what the Easter Bunny will devise for next year...
