Easter Egg Hunt at Granna & Pa's

Each year, my family gets together for the kids to have an Easter Egg Hunt at Granna and Pa's house. Joe David, Stefany and Jed were in the weekend before Easter, so we did our hunt a little early this year. The weather was so beautiful that day, so it was great! Mary Nan, Laura and Dane dyed and decorated eggs, and they did a great job. For some reason, J.J. wasn't quite in the egg decorating mood, so it was just the three of them. Here are the proud egg decorators with their creations!

Before the Easter Egg Hunt began, we gathered all the kids together with their baskets for some pictures. They're all growing up so fast, and they are all such good kids. While we were on the front porch, I also took some pictures of Dane and Sydni sitting in the rocking chair. Poor Sydni, she had been so sick that week with an upper respiratory infection, and her little nose was so raw. So, she is not quite her sunny self in these pictures, but she's still pretty sweet, I think!

And, the hunt begins!

Sydni spent most all of the hunt sitting in her Pa's lap - and I think they both enjoyed it!

Stefany bought each of the big kids a dozen cascarrones (I think that's how it's spelled), which are confetti filled eggs. As you can imagine, this was super fun for the kids, and for everyone actually! As Dane was breaking each of his, he got to individually wishing each person a Happy Easter. Well, I discovered that he has definitely inherited his father's flare for life because when he got to the egg dedicated to J.J., he swirled around until he saw him, and then he yelled "Happy Easter to J.J!" and motioned toward him much like a game show host would a contestant. It was funny, and I'm so glad that I got it on video.
