Today we had an Easter Egg Hunt at Jon and Cathy's house. All of the eggs were numbered so everyone would end up with the same number of eggs. Each child was assigned a number and could only pick up eggs with that number on it. David was somewhat distraught because he was assigned #2- instead of #3. Right now everything comes in threes for him because that is how old he is. Anyhow, it appeared that all of the cousins had a fun time finding their eggs and then helping each other. Rebecca found all of the eggs with #1, but she was upset when I wouldn't let her keep the 10,11,12, and 13 even though they had a #1 on them as well. In order to help the children remember the reason we celebrate Easter, each child had one egg with a picture of Christ and one empty egg symbolizing the empty tomb. Then we dyed eggs and enjoyed a delicious lunch. This has become a fun tradition that our family definitely looks forward to.
What a wonderful thing to have all those cousins to celebrate with and what a clever way to number the eggs etc. I only wish my children were young again without all the troubles of adulthood. There are so many thing that I would do differently. Anyway as usual your children are just wonderful and sweet! Good Job!!

We are so glad the little ones like to be out of doors. Fresh air and exercise is wonderful and it tires them out too! We love the pics please keep them comin.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a wonderful Connelly family tradition, which seems to be polished each year. We love the picture of Christ and the empty egg. Good job! to Cathy and all who helped
