Happy Easter!

We had a lovely Easter this year. Saturday we went to a couple hunts that we usually go to here in Sussex – one at Pick n Save and one put on by the Village of Sussex. We got quite a bit of free candy and prizes between the two and so the girls enjoyed it.

Sunday morning I set up a little scavenger hunt with clues in plastic eggs. At the end of the hunt their prize was a Butterfly habitat – we’re ordering caterpillars in the mail and then they will turn into butterflies for us! So exciting and perfect for spring, right?

Then we had egg shaped pancakes with sprinkles in them (Avery’s idea!) and got all dressed up for church. Luckily all three girls had pretty dresses that still fit them from last year (Lily’s was Avery’s easter dress from 5 years ago!). Here are a few of the pictures.

After church we had my aunt and uncle and 5 of their kids over for a ham dinner with carrot cake for dessert. Then Merrick set up a huge egg hunt in our big backyard - almost an acre of grass to hunt in, and it hasn’t been mowed yet this year so it was very shaggy and easy to hide eggs! We assigned each kid a color and there were about 90 eggs! It was fun despite the cloudy windy evening. We love having family nearby!

I hope you all had a great Easter too!
