The Easter Fun Concludes

April 2014

As if the Easter egg hunts for Pearson Farms and at school weren't enough fun, we had even more Easter fun planned this year.  On the Saturday before Easter, Nana and Papa invited everyone over to their house to hunt for eggs.  We tried to get a picture of everyone before we started.  At first, Lincoln was really excited!

But after getting baby Charlie situated and getting Olivia's pacifier out, he was more than finished with pictures and ready to find his eggs:

Finally, it was time to hunt for eggs.  Since our egg hunters were of wide-ranging age and ability, Nana had the brilliant idea of giving each kid a color of eggs to find.  

Lincoln hunted for the green eggs:

 Jack requested his favorite color, red, but the Easter bunny didn't have any red eggs, so Jack searched for the orange ones:

 

Livi, of course, had pink:

 

 

Charlie didn't do much running around, but he managed to round up all of his blue eggs: 

There were even a few yellow eggs for Miss Lucy:

Since it was such a beautiful day, we all sat outside to open our eggs.  They were filled with all kids of goodies - from socks to hair clips, stretchy bunnies to candy, there was something for everyone:

 

We had so much fun at Nana's house!  The next day was Sunday, time for the grand finale.  The Easter Bunny filled Livi and Jack's baskets with all kinds of treats and hid eggs all around the game room. Unfortunately, we weren't quick enough to get too many pictures.  Here's one of Jack showing some of his goodies to Mommy:

Crazy-haired Livi and her Peeps:

Of course, Easter wouldn't be complete without the dying of eggs.  Daddy and Jack look rather perplexed at the beginning:

But happy at the end!

Wouldn't you know it, they make Ninja Turtle Easter egg kits - Jack was so proud:

Livi was pretty proud of her princess eggs, too:

After the egg dying, everything quickly disintegrated into chaos.  I came out of my bedroom after talking with my mom to find this.  Tommy is sitting right in front of the TV, using a pot lid as a shield while the kiddos throw plastic Easter eggs at him.

Happy Easter from the Mhire family crazies!!
