We got an early start because we had a full day of fun and family parties ahead of us. I got up and hid the kid's Easter baskets. That is one of our family traditions - the kids have the HUNT to find their baskets.
Emmie's was in the dryer this year
Talbie's was in the stove. The kids are getting really good at this and it only takes them about 5 minutes to locate them!
Then we had a little egg hunt of our own. We timed this just right because right after we did this, it started raining and it didn't stop all day!
Opening their eggs and finding their "loot".
After we did our little family thing, we headed outside for a block party and a fun egg hunt for the kids.
Then it was off the grandma and grandpa's in the afternoon for pizza and more egg hunting! For those of you that haven't been to my mom's house, her basement is decorated with her Santa collection - all year long. We haven't mixed up our holidays :)
Dustin and Maddie - feeding their faces!
Me and daddy
Some of the "loot" we could win!
Brock and Bronson
My dad getting the eggs ready! We have a very different - but fun "hunt" with my family. We don't hide the eggs, but put them all out in the middle of the floor. We take turns picking an egg and opening it. Most of the eggs are filled with money so it's a very exciting - and stressful time!
Ally is the youngest so she got to pick first!
On Emmie's first pick she got $20~
So did Bronson!
Brittany trying her luck! She wasn't very lucky :)
My brother, Cody is a CHEATER!
Some how he always ends up with the big money! On this pick he got $50!
I told you Brittany wasn't very lucky :)
Dustin was also very lucky! He ended up with the most money, with Maddie in a close 2nd!
Dallin and his $5
Me and Boston :)After the party was finishing up, Bronson and Brock found the "George and Barbara Bush" masks. So funny!
Logan and Talbie trying them out

Great family traditions! Looks like you had so much fun.
I like your idea of having Easter on Saturday. After trying to get Easter baskets out of the way and everyone ready for church....it just was not pleasant.
