Even with a few empty chairs around the table, Easter lunch felt full in all the ways that matter most.
The eight of us gathered close and we shared so much laughter.. The room was totally overflowing with goodness....and a few dogs! Lucy, Missy, and Penny (my granddogs) were enjoying our gathering...each of them begging for food.
The food?? Absolutely delicious! The Desserts? They did not stand a chance....And the Egg hunt, pure joy watching the excitement unfold, ONE Egg at a time!
I say ONE egg at a time because I did something different this year. I had ONE egg for each of them (excluding Sam and I) PLUS a Golden Egg!
Each person could only find their own egg and If they did find someone else's egg and they told them where it was at, then I got to keep the egg that belonged to the person who shared the information!!
Oh no, no, no...they did not want to lose their egg because they knew it contained MONEY 💸....and for this reason, NO ONE helped anyone find their egg. I was even accused of trying to pull a joke on them. They thought I must have just told them there were some eggs hidden just so I could watch them run around looking for them.... HA, HA...this made me LAUGH... May have to try that next year!!
Shanda...hunting every branch of every tree...🤣🤣
Trista was the last one to find her egg!!
This egg hunt lasted a good 30 or so minutes. I'll have to give myself a pat on the back, because I really did hide them in hard places. The golden egg...I hid it in the freezer which is located in the garage. Carson, found The Golden Egg and was all smiles.
More than anything, Our Easter Sunday was filled with an abundance of Love. WE did Miss our other 13 family members who were not able to come home for Easter... Hopefully next year...💛💛💛
Shug...

Happy Easter week my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteWe had a blessed day as well. We were missing our Sam's girlfriend. We were blessed for our time we had with our family, even though we missed Cate.

The Golden Egg search sounds fun. So glad Carson found it in the freezer in the garage. Pretty clever of him to look there. I like Shanda's bright pink top, so cute for Easter. I'm not sure what's on those crackers, but they sure look Yummy. A lovely family photo of you all, Shug. And I like how you added colorful flowers to the picture, very creative. : )
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like all of you had a great time. What fun with the eg hunt
ReplyDeleteThat just sounds and looks like the best Easter Egg Hunt ever!!! How very clever you are. I loved seeing the pictures that just expload with love and joy. What is better than family!!! Blessings everywhere. Sending love and hugs.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time you all had! I love your egg idea. I may have to try that in a few years.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm wondering what is in the golden egg?
Oh my gosh - what a fantastic idea you had there and what a great time. Your family photo was so wonderful. Sounds like a great time was had by all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun twist on the traditional (egg hunt)! It's not just for toddlers anymore!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm thinking to float this idea to our small-but-mighty crew next year.
That sounds like such a fun Easter egg hunt idea. Was the golden egg just something special for whoever found it (a bonus egg)? What was in it? I am going to share that idea with my daughter for when the kids are a little older.
ReplyDeleteLove all the pictures--especially that one at the top of all of you in the spring flower drawing.
Happy to read that Sam has been having some good days. 🙌
The egg hunt sounds like a lot of fun. I hope you kept track of where the eggs were hidden so you do NOT repeat those places next year.
ReplyDeleteNow that's an Easter Egg Hunt to beat all, Shug! How much fun for our adult and older grandchildren when they visit. I loved seeing the smiles on everyone's faces, too. Joy is contagious. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a FUN way to hunt for their special egg! You made the Day so special for them...a sweet memory!
ReplyDeleteHappy week!
hugs

It sounds like you had a wonderful Easter. How great to have so many people with you to enjoy the special time. The egg hunt sounds like a lot off fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful time. It's a great blessing to gather together as a family on special occasions. And have photos to remember by. God bless you all always.
ReplyDeleteThat a fun way to celebrate! I think I may have to copy this egg hunt ideas since we don't currently have any littles around for a traditional hunt. Great idea!!
ReplyDeleteThe egg hunt idea is absolutely brilliant! We are a family of nothing but adults and I think I am going to do this next year, but with gift cards rather than real money.
ReplyDeleteOur edtended family hasn't been together in ages. It is quite a trick.
ReplyDeleteFamily memory making. There is nothing like it. 😊❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕❤️💕
ReplyDeletelololololololol. Best Easter story of them all. What a hoot you are. In the freezer. Their own eggs each. And for it to go on for 30+ that's wonderful. Very, very, very fun read.
