The Easter Bunny came early

Today we celebrated Easter, a week early as we wanted to spend it with Amelia and Steph!  For me, all I had to had was show up at Steph's with some food and prizes.(my kind of party)  However, Amelia and Ellie worked hard and starting planning the big day for us all last Friday night.  The party started at 10 AM this morning.  At 9:15 AM we picked up Richelle and Jared (Tilleskjor car plan) and headed over. 

First, there was lots of excitement to see Amelia as always.  

Even Eric got into the fun! (but that is not a surprise)

Next, the kids dyed Easter eggs. Even though they dyed 8 eggs each it took them about...2 seconds. Third, was the scavenger hunt.  Amelia and Ellie puts tons of thought into the clues and the 4 kids had to work together as a team.  This worked most of the time, Kiki only cried through half of it when she didn't get to find all the clues.

This clue below needs some explaining but I thought it was clever.  Here the "deviled egg: filled the tub with over a hundred eggs but only one had the real clue and the kids had to go through pretty much all of them to find the true clue.

After the scavenger hunt, came the HIT of the day.  Homemade Easter BINGO.  Kaitlynn had the luckiest board.  I even won on it!

After Bingo was "Pin the tail on the hand drawn bunny"

Finally after all the games it was time for lunch and dessert!  Amelia and Ellie made all the desserts.  Cupcakes that looked like Peeps and parfaits. 

Between the games and the food it was a whirlwind of activities but a ton of fun for everyone!
