Huntin' for Eggs

On Saturday we had our annual Schiffman family gathering which includes a picnic and Easter egg hunt. It was at my moms house this year. Grandma and Grandpa always buy KFC and we bring all the fixings. Our get together is getting bigger each year now that my cousins are having kids as well, which is good because now there is a whole new generation hunting for eggs, and we get to hid them this time. After the picnic the kids hunted for eggs. Each kid is assigned a number. That way everyone gets the same amount of eggs and the same treats. Smart huh, can you tell we have been doing this for a while?! It eliminates the fighting. Then we just hung out and visited for a while. It was alot of fun and the kids had a ball.

Makinley showing me her pink egg she just found. Taelors eggs were hidden the hardest (thanks to Jaxon) because she is the oldest great-grand child. She had fun finding them.


Jace was just as happy as can be outside. He enjoyed the hunt by sitting on Aunt Jodi's lap on Grandmas swing.

Uncle Jesse helped Dennin find his eggs. He was excited to help, and it let me video the kids.

The Easter egg hunt looks like it was a lot of fun. And what a great way to keep the older kids from finding the easy eggs. I will have to pass this creative idea on to my family. We miss you guys!

That is a great tradition you guys have. It is amazing how fast they are all growing. I can only imagine trying to do it all with four kids, ugh, three is trying enough!
