Fun Easter Egg Hunt

Hello everyone!

For the last few years my son and daughter in law

have hosted Easter dinner.  They started a tradition of

having an inside Easter egg hunt.
Everyone gets to participate in searching for 

those little plastic eggs that can be filled.

They put numbers in the eggs 

whatever number you find, is the number of the cup you

get.  You punch through the tissue paper on top to 

get your prize.

You never know what you will find in the cup,

it could be a little tiny jar of Nutella

Or some magnetic clips

Or maybe a cute little pizza hand sanitizer.

Or the cup could be filled with shaving cream or whipped topping

or maybe even jello.

For our 2022 hunt, they took Marie, then 2.5 yrs old, and went shopping

at the Dollar Tree.  She picked some pretty interesting

prizes.
We always have a lot of fun when we play this and sometimes

it's hard to find all the eggs, as Jaryd and Sara forget where they hid them.

No matter who wins what, we have a great time 

and I look forward to this year's hunt

Do you do Easter egg hunts with your family?

Maybe you'll want to give this a try and see how they 

like it.

Thanks for stopping in today,

I hope you enjoyed your time here

and will come again soon.

Until then,

make some fun Easter plans.

 

Our Annual Family Easter Egg Competition 2022

Hello everyone.
Easter is fast approaching and I realized that I never

posted about our 
Annual Easter Egg Coloring Contest 2022,

so I thought now would be a good time.

We started in 2021 with our family competition and

like our Christmas Cookie Decorating Contest,

there is no prize except bragging rights for the year.

I post the pictures on facebook and our family and friends

vote for their favorites.

Here are the eggs from 2022

Dots and Lines by Brad 6 votes

Pray for Peace by Kristie 17 votes

Dinosaur by Jaryd 9 votes

Dino Friends by Marie (age 2.5) 12 votes

Dino-corn by Sara 18 votes

Bunny by Zoe 18 votes

And last by certainly not least,

the clear winner

Flowers by Kelsie 43 votes.

I'm glad you came by today and I hope

you are inspired in some way. 
Maybe you'll even have a friendly little

competition of your own this year.

After Easter I'll post the entries and results

of the 2023 contest.

Until then,

decorate some eggs!

 

Pumpkin Hunt 2021 & 2022

Hello Everyone!

I've had some time to do some scrapbooking lately and

I thought I'd show you a couple layouts that I created.

Every year since my daughter was born, almost 33 yrs ago,

we have gone on a pumpkin hunt. We go to a specific 

fruit and veggie stand and find all the pumpkins we want,

then we go to lunch or dinner together.

Here are a couple layouts from the last couple 

pumpkin hunts.

As you can see, I'm a little behind on my scrapbooking.

I did my 2021 and 2022 layouts at the same time.

The 2021 hunt was special since we found out that day

that we were going to be grandparents again.

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to depict that.

The whole family couldn't come for this pumpkin hunt,

but there was someone from each family unit there to

choose the pumpkins.  The rest of them participated in

the carving of the pumpkins.
My son, Jaryd, was being crazy that day and his apple

was in almost every picture.

We always have a lot of fun when we do our pumpkin hunt

and we plan to continue it until I'm old and feeble.  LOL,

then they will do it on their own.  We used to do this with my

Mom and she went every year, even when she couldn't get out

of the car to walk around.  Family time is always precious.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you'll come again soon.

I have more layouts to show you so I'll be posting them soon.

Until then,

scrap on!
