On Easter Sunday, we went to Mimi and Poppy’s house in the morning. We arrived and waited for the neighbors to arrive. When the neighbors arrived, we sent the kids outside for an egg hunt. The kids eggs were hidden by the deck. John was the oldest and we told him to not go for the easy eggs. We didn’t realize that by telling him that he wouldn’t get many eggs. He walked past all the easy eggs so that Gillian and Nolan could get them. Gillian loved the egg hunt. She was very competitive. At one point, we caught her stealing eggs from Nolan’s basket.

Mimi also set up an egg hunt for the big kids! I was smart and teamed up with John. He is really fast and he found more eggs than I did. Gillian teamed up with Aunt Missy. But that didn’t last long, because the first egg Gillian saw John grabbed it and she cried. So Daddy took Gillian. But Gillian was able to find a few eggs that the big kids missed! After the hunt, we had some yummy breakfast.

Then we went to Aunt Trish and Uncle Kevin’s house. Gillian was super excited to go and see Sammie. “I see Sammie. Sammie my cousin!” The kids got to play a little while then it was time for the next hunt. This hunt is set up so each kid has specific eggs to find. John had dinosaurs and orange eggs to find. Gillian had purple and animal eggs to find. Justin had camo eggs. Kyle had sports eggs. Sammie had flowers and yellow eggs. Since the kids ages range from, 2.5 to 10 this hunt can be made more difficult for the older kids and easier for the little kids. The kids had so much fun! We timed it well, because it started to rain just as we were going inside.

The kids had so much fun with their cousins. Gillian cried when it was time to leave. “I don’t wanna go!” She refused to put her coat on. She wanted to stay and play with her cousins.
