Easter

Alyce had a busy Easter this year. We had two Easter Egg Hunts with one on my side of the family and the other on Mom's side of the family.

The first hunt we attended was on my side of the family out at my Aunt Marilyn's and Uncle Eric's house. We had brunch followed by an egg hunt. Mommy didn't join us on this trip since she is still recovering from delivering baby Luke. Brunch was great with Alyce eating quite a bit and needing minimal help from me.


Once lunch was cleaned up Uncles Jared and Sam hid all of the Easter candy. I think the candy was a bit overbought for just two kids; there was candy going everywhere. Before the hunt even got started I made a big mistake. I forgot to bring an Easter basket for Alyce to use during the hunt. Luckily Grandma came prepared and had a cute Easter basket at the ready. Alyce did very good searching for the candy. This was her second year of hunting eggs so she knew what was going on.

After the hunt I packed Alyce up and we headed back home to pick up Mom and Luke then traveled to Gram's and Pa Pa's house for dinner and an egg hunt there. We did manage to get a hunt in even though bad weather was starting to roll in. Mom put the candy eggs together for Alyce and we both hid them while Alyce was inside. Alyce was all alone in this egg hunt, but there were five adults watching her every move.

Easter was a big success even though we couldn't spent 100% of it together as a family. I look forward to next Easter where things will be a bit less stressful for a newly grown family.
