Easter Egg Hunt

We hosted an Easter Egg Hunt in our cul-de-sac this year! We had so much fun! 

I think we ended up with close to 14 kids...and all but about 5 live in our cul-de-sac! It's a busy place! :)

We quickly explained the boundaries and such and then the craziness began. 

The kids were hunting for lots of candy filled eggs, but also a special empty egg. 

These dads ended up hanging out with the littlest ones

After the eggs were found, the kids had fun checking out the loot 

Then we all gathered together to see who found the empty egg. Ty did! We hid the empty egg to signify the empty tomb that was found on Easter morning because Jesus had risen and He is alive!

After Ty won the special prize we read the Easter story to share with our friends the reason that we celebrate Easter. 

Then we had some time to enjoy bubbles, chalk, friends and food! 

We had so much fun hosting our first annual Easter egg hunt! We are looking forward to making it a tradition.
