Grandma's Easter Egg Hunt

Every year my mom does an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids in her neighborhood and some of our family. It is always so much fun.



The day before the hunt we go up and help color eggs. She had 75 dozen to color this year so we do them in big buckets so it doesn't take all day. The kids love doing eggs and always have colorful hands after.

Usually the hunt is in my mom's huge backyard, but since there was 6 inches of snow on the ground, we did it in the gym at the church. There was candy everywhere, on the tables, chairs, ground, and some was even taped on the walls. The kids get to help put the candy out so here they are after all the candy was scattered all over.

Now we are ready for an Easter Egg Hunt.

My mom splits the kids up into age groups so that the big kids don't run over the little kids and then lets them all run for it. They had so much fun filling up their baskets.

Brody asked if he was supposed to fill his basket all the way, and Dallas told him he could if he wanted to, He got a huge smile on his face and said that he did want to. He was so excited to get all that candy. (To bad he doesn't know he won't actually get to eat it all.)

The kids with all their fun treats.They had so much fun. After the hunt we have a potluck dinner and then go home to crash in bed after the sugar high. Thanks for the fun hunt Mom and Dad.
