It’s that time of year again. The time to remember the sacrifice our Savior made for us, and to rejoice in the knowledge that He is, indeed, risen! <\/p>\n

Not nearly as important as that, but not to be left out…it’s the time to gather at Gram and Pa-Paul’s house for the egg hunt extravaganza :)<\/p>\n

21 total people, lots of eggs, even more silliness, great food. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday! <\/p>\n

Ready, Set, Go!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This year, all our big kids were “hiders”, so we only had the two “finders”. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And, they worked it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The big kids were helpers…big bro Ethan shakes down the egg from the tall branch. See it falling? <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gram’s egg hunts are involved…she has exactly the same number of eggs per kid, and puts a certain color\/symbol on each egg. As the kids hunt, they dump their finds into big baskets. Then, we all gather inside to divide up the eggs. Here, Dylan is emptying his basket so he can head back out! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A lot of what goes on at Gram’s involves laughing. Being goofy. Randy and Tony have this part down pat. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And, one of the best parts is hanging out with our family. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gram always does a scavenger hunt for the big kids…a series of clues that leads them running around until they find their giant, treat-filled eggs. Here, Payton reads the first clue. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

All the kids. We were missing Samara, she was still back at college. Caleb wasn’t supposed to be there, but he surprised everyone when he walked in the door. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As usual, it was a fantastic day. Caleb brought 3 friends with him, and our good friend Amanda enjoyed the day with us, too. Sadly, I got no pictures of us with her! Oh well, we were having too much fun to worry with posing. <\/p>\n

Thanks, Gram, for a wonderful day! We know you put tons of work into it :) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
