Egg Hunt at Papa's

 
Papa's home is just that, home.
It's so wonderful to go over and enjoy time together.


 
The kids were quick!!! They found all the eggs in no time flat!!









 
Eggs had jelly beans, marshmallows, nothing, or money.
Yaya Kota had a box of plastic eggs in the garage. Her garage is one of pure magic and wonder. I'm sure Papa feels the same way.

 
Joe, you are so loved. So very very loved.





 
It was a good day!! Sad to not have Yaya Sofia there (she was scared of getting sick). But grateful for the blessings of the day!!

Papa's HOA Egg Hunt

 
It was a cold one!! But fortunately, our speedy little egg hunters grabbed their eggs quick! Thanks Papa for signing us up!!

 
Ella was a bit "timid" of el conjuahito.


 
She sure does have the hang of Easter Egg Hunts down!!

 
 
Christina: "I actually found both gold eggs, but only needed one." What a gem I have!!!


Golden Egg = $5 Woooo!!!!

 
Great way to spend the morning!!

Easter Picnic in the park sans the Picnic

 
Randomly I came across this site that had the very best games. Since Joe and I didn't make it to our original dreams of 12 children, ha, I thought why not throw a party. It's always tricky and you never know who will show up, but we had a good little group and it was fun!!



 
We did a watercolor bunny and bunny whiskers, they turned out adorable!


 
We had a peep eating contest, jelly bean relay race, escaped eggs tag, egg toss, egghead decorating contest, guessing games, and bean boozled.
It was great. I love seeing kids active and engaged.

 
We had chalk, bubbles, and bunny bowling for smaller children.







 
Our eggheads!!


 
Christina had a friend from class there. He was really cool. I had no clue he was even in her class. And so the awkwardness starts....I still haven't grown out of mine!!

 
Everyone was so kind and brought goodies to stuff baskets for some kids in a women's shelter. It was nice to be able to help out some of those in need. We had so much extra that we took some to the boys & girls club.

 
It was simple, everyone helped... it was lovely!!
A good way to spend our Friday morning!! (2 hours fllllleeeeew by!!)
