After I hard boiled 2 dozen eggs, the girls were off and running, dying them all by themselves while Brian and I painted. They did awesome and had a great time. Even with 24 eggs they still managed to have a fight as to who had dyed the most eggs. ugh....sisterly love. :)
We decided to go to Easter Vigil this year, hoping the late night wouldn't affect the girls and surprisingly they did fantastic. Mass was around 2 hours long and we didn't hear any complaining. However I was out nursing Lauren for a good part of that time. :) The girls looked so pretty in their coordinating outfits too! That's the fun of having girls to dress! Brian & I didn't look too shabby either! Next up, Easter Egg hunts galore!!!!!
The first egg hunt took place at our house. Since it was freezing cold on Easter morning, with snow on the ground in places, the Easter bunny was kind enough to hide the baskets and eggs around the house for the girls. He left us with clues for the girls in case they couldn't find their baskets. The girls could choose to use the clues if they wanted. And the bunny sure did hide the baskets in unusual places. So it wasn't as easy as they thought it might be! There isn't a picture of Rachel close up because she didn't have pj pants on! Once the hunt was over and a few pieces of candy eaten, it was off to Gpa & Gma Moores house.
At the Moore side, Bobby, Laura and the girls were there along with Great Gma Schueller. Mom made a fabulous dinner and Mya and Ally made and decorated cupcakes for Gpa Tom's birthday, which was on Easter Sunday. We missed Annie Matt & the boys though. After dinner, the kids went outside to find over 140 eggs that Bobby, Brian and Dad had hid. The "Golden" egg was also hidden. Who ever found this egg this year got $12. Random number, I know. I believe that is what mom had in her wallet. :) The kids had a great time and got lots of fun candy and treats, some healthy. Caitlin got two empty eggs :) I think Bobby had gotten to them first! Even though it was freezing cold out, they didn't come inside until they found all the eggs. The winner of the Golden Egg this year was Emily. She was generous enough to give $1 to all the kids and kept $7 to herself. She was pretty excited to have found it before Caitlin did!
And for dessert a special bday cake for Dad and all his pretty little granddaughters. He sure is lucky!!
Next stop of the day, Gpa & Gma Salfers house. They must have been getting impatient for us to get there because we got a phone call on our way over to Wabasso. The other kids/cousins were anxiously waiting for the crazy Egg hunt at the Salfer's. Usually eggs are hidden up in the trees, on the roof of the house, etc. This year, again since it was cold out, the crew didn't get too creative in hiding the eggs. Everyone found their eggs in record time and headed back inside to warm up. The kids were in candy heaven and ate way too much during the day. So did us adults! We had a very FUN day with grandparents, aunts, crazy uncles and wild cousins. We rolled back into St. Peter around 11:30pm. What a day!
