The 9th annual Easter Eggstravaganza

For the past 9 years our neighborhood has held an Easter egg hunt. . . in fact, we are the co-hosts. After we moved it we found out it was a responsibility that came with the house. Last years was a totally success so we were a little apprehensive this year, considering the crazy weather we've been having. We knew there was a good chance we'd be hunting for eggs in the snow. But things started to look up and we ended up with an absolutely beautiful day. The turnout was incredible too! We counted close to a hundred kids!

Sophie was beside herself when she realized that she had the green light to go around eating whatever candy she could get her grimy little paws on.

Ayden had an absolute blast helping us set up. He walked around very carefully placing the eggs when the rest of us were just tossing them about.


He was a little overwhelmed with all the people (as usual) but once he had his Daddy there to help him he was just fine.


We have already begun planning for the big 10 year anniversary next year. You won't want to miss it!

Look at all those people. What a fun get together! I love that Ayden got to help. Guess that is one of the perks of being in charge!
