Easter Egg Hunt

Our Easter egg hunts were more like a game.  We did not have color coordinated eggs (like green for Mikey and blue for Will).  We put out a ton of eggs and let both boys have at it.  Will was fine that we gave Mikey some help and Mikey was fine that Will usually ended up with a bunch more eggs at the end. 

journal entry: 'our Easter egg hunt was great!' photos of the boys, mikey. hunting for eggs and the haul. mikey glued some of the cartoons and instructions onto the page as well (hop on one foot, give dad some candy, take one egg from your brother, take a funny easter selfie with your brother)

Then, we’d sit outside (weather permitting) and open all the eggs, following the instructions, reading the comics, eating the candy and stashing the cash…Happy Easter to us!
