Easter

I must say that I love the holidays. They are so fun and everyone does such a wonderful job to make them fun and memorable. This year for Easter Laine and Kaylee were at Rick's house for the morning so the Easter Bunny came and filled all 4 Easter baskets and left them all the clothes mom instructed him to leave by their baskets. Then he hid the eggs for Chesney and Jaycie. Since Laine and Kaylee missed out on the hunt at home the Easter Bunny added special eggs to their basket to make up for it. The little ones had a blast! All morning long it was "here's an egg" squeals all over the house.

Then we got ready and went to Grandma Wendy's house. We met Laine and Kaylee there. There was an easy egg hunt set up in the back yard for the little kids. The older two, on the other hand, got to go on a Easter Detective Hunt. They got hats and badges, note pads, flash lights, and pens to help them decipher the clues they got to find their treasure. They ran all over the house. from the yard and shed to the basement and attic hunting for their prize. At the end they found a treasure box filled with chocolate coins and little keep sakes and best of all money!

When we were done it was off to Grandma and Grandpa Simmons' for another celebration. The younger kids once again had a hunt in the front yard just for them. All the excitement off all the eggs was wonderful! The older kids got to follow clues and do tricks to earn their baskets. They would have to sing to certain people and Justin even had to give Grandma Rayna a hug! (I wasn't sure he would survive.) At the end all of the kids got a bucket full of all kinds of candy and toys. The older Jazz fans even got posters and stat books.

Easter turned out wonderful as always. With lots of good food, great games, and wonderful family members to share it with. Thank you to all who made it so great!
