Egg Mania

Last night we colored eggs with Sophia in preparation for Easter on Sunday. She had quite a bit of fun doing this, but kept wanting to touch the color dye in the cups. Being the over paranoid person that I am, every time she reached for the cup I thought in my mind here it goes. To my surprise, we made it through the whole process without any dye spilling on the floor or her clothes.

Today we went to the first annual egg hunt for our neighborhood. One of the neighbor mom's put it together. It was just AMAZING! Each of the kids found so many eggs and they had such a wonderful time. I was shocked at how many eggs Sophia found and brought home all filled with different treats.

While hunting, Sophia found an egg wrapped in silver tin foil. We were unaware, but there were only two eggs that were put out like this. Sophia was thrilled when she found out that this egg entitled her to a special surprise. In family tradition, one of the neighbors has done this for years and put together the special surprise for the two lucky finders. Here was prize:

We can hardly wait to have the egg hunt again next year! What a success for everyone. The kids loved it and found tons of eggs. The parents had a great time watching all of the smiles and happy kiddos.
