Hippity Hoppity Easter's On It's Way!

Jeff's mom and dad, Ann and Garth, throw an Easter Egg hunt party every year the day before Easter. It is SO much fun because there are 22 grandkids (24 by the end of May.) All of us bring 22 surprises and throw them out on the lawn for the kids to find. They end up getting so much stuff and have so much fun. Ann always has hotdogs and chips for us to eat for lunch. It is always so nice to sit and visit with family. We are so lucky to have everyone so close. Jeff has 8 brothers and sisters including himself. Every single one of us lives within minutes from each other. He has a very fun family!
I got the idea for our surprise off of Holly's blog. Abbi helped me make them this morning. It was really fun. We couldn't find the sixlets that she used on her rabbits so we used pixi stix instead. They turned out so cute. It was a great project for Abs and I to do together.
Garth and Ann are so great. They are always helping everyone out with whatever we need. They looked like they were enjoying watching everyone have fun. They are really sweet people.

Holiday's are much more fun when there are kids around to watch. I love watching kids search for eggs.

I love family Easter egg hunts--they're the best. What a fun idea to bring surprises too. We always just bring candy and they end up with way too much. What another fun tradition.
