Ahhhh, who doesn't love the smell of chocolate at the crack of dawn? Apparently Ethan REALLY loves the smell and the taste. He had those eggs cracked and the goodies eaten (some partially still wrapped) in no time flat. Mason took his time. We tried the yarn trick my mom used to do for us as kids. She would tie a piece of yarn to our basket and then wind it all around the house and we had to follow it. It was a blast as far as I can remember, but the boys were frustrated and kept getting tied up in it. Sooo, maybe just a trail of grass next year... ET screamed his high pitched girly scream for all the neighbors to hear and push redial for the CDC on their phones when we took the rest of his chocolate away. I swear you'd think we were torturing him. The night before I was trying to devise a sanitary way to put breakfast sausage and eggs into the plastic eggs but Matt's sour face said "No way!"
Later in the day our good friends, the Pecks, came up from their vacation spot in Destin for some lunch and the big Easter Egg Hunt. The Parrish family came and so did the Archambaults. It was so much fun getting together with everyone and having the kids go crazy seeing each other after so long. We see the Pecks now a couple times a year or so since they moved to SC 2 years ago. We love them!! The egg hunt was awesome! We hid some 250 eggs or so amongst 9 kids. They hit the jackpot! Jackie made a lovely lamb cake ( we all thought it looked like a dog with laser eyes) but the coconut made it look better, more like a poodle. Ruby's chocolate chickens are awesome for breakfast (for Mommy-not the kids) with coffee. I have to put a side-note here and just say that my husband is awesome. He cleans, he takes care of the kids like nobody can and he loves me! Happy Easter!
