We had a fabulous Easter weekend! And the best part,
Grammy G was here to celebrate with us!
We started Friday with a community egg hunt. Too hot, too long, but the kids had fun.
Dying eggs was, ummm, an experience. We had some issues getting the eggs bright. Crew would hold his egg in the dye with his hand. The boys cracked more eggs on their head than they decorated. They had a blast but it was chaos which ended with Grandma pushing all of us, me included, in the pool with our clothes on. Oh, let me quickly explain that we spent Easter weekend in a condo with my mom in Kihei which explains the new setting. It has been awesome! We have our own little pool and fenced in yard.
Easter morning started at 6:01 for us. Caden was a little bit excited! The kids all loved their baskets and have spent several days going through them again and again, especially Crew.
We made a delicious brunch with eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes, fruit, mini muffins, homemade syrup, ..... oh boy! We have some serious dieting to do now!
The egg hunt was so fun and actually turned out really even, with Crew winning with 23 eggs, Chase with 21, and Caden with 20. In all fairness to the other boys, Crew had his own section that the boys weren't allowed to go in but he found his eggs so fast and join in on the competitive fun with the big boys.
Oh, please excuse their egg hunting outfits. They were all in mismatched jammies but I didn't feel like arguing with them on easter about their fashion. ;-)
We ended the morning with a big party at the Grand Wailea - bounce houses, obstacle courses, carnival games, magician, decorating sugar cookies, 2 egg hunts, etc, etc, etc. By noon, all the adults were exhausted (or as my kids would say, eggshausted - badumdumdum)
Happy Easter and Loves to All!
