Egg Hunt

I'm sure this is the first of many posts today because we had a fun and crazy weekend. When we moved into our house last July, we talked to our neighbors about putting in a fence. They didn't say anything right away, but after we said we weren't going to anymore, they sighed with relief because every year they throw a huge neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt in our combine yards. They were really hoping that we would want to be in on it. Well the time came and man was is a blast. We took flyer's around asking everyone to bring 12 filled plastic eggs for each child coming, and a bag of wrapped candy for each family. I made signs and we taped off sections for the different age groups. It was an absolute riot! So many people came and it was a great chance to visit with our neighbors. Afterwards, some of the closer friends stayed and we had a huge pizza picnic. We are so lucky to have such a great neighborhood and most of all, to have the Flittons. Ayden had a blast, except for when he got in trouble for eating the candy faster then we could put it out.

I LOL at the cute picture of Sophie. She has the right idea. Enjoy that chocolate. What a fun Easter Egg hunt and getting to know your neighbors. You have a great neighborhood and ward Mary. Looks as if Easter is going to be fun at your house. Laura Lee decided with her family that they get the Easter Baskets and do the colored egg thing on Saturday so that Easter Sunday is about Jesus and the Resurrection.
