Neighborhood Egg Hunt

After the egg hunt at church, we came home and had another egg hunt with some of our neighbors. There were 5 houses that participated, and we all had a great time! Sonja provided hot chocolate and coffee when we were finished because it was freezing outside!

Baby Abby is walking and getting so big. She was happy with only 2 eggs, one for each hand.

Here is a group shot of all the kids except baby Abby (and Sonja is in the picture too)!

The best part is opening the eggs to find out what is inside!!

After the kids open their eggs, we usually have another egg hunt with the empty plastic eggs just because the kids have so much fun hunting. Usually there are some eggs that never get found and we will find them days, weeks or months later (like weedeating in the middle of the summer). Sometimes you will find one that has a goody inside from the first hunt and sometimes you will find an empty one from the 2nd hunt. A few days after the hunt, Bekah found an egg that happened to be one of the empty eggs. At first she was bummed out, and then she excitedly said, "Oh, I know why it is empty...because God is in it!" So, she was a bit confused, but can you tell we went through the resurrection eggs with our kids?
