So it become a tradition to every year have a egg hunt in which my Dad and DeRay (my second dad) hid plastic eggs that contain money all over the yard. Its called the Bunny Money hunt! It is great. My dads hid them so well that it takes up almost an hour to find them all. There is usually always one golden egg that has a high bill in it(like a twenty or something) and then small bills and finally pocket change mixed with candy. Its in the rules that we can't look in our eggs until we have found them all. Everyone is allowed a certain amount. Its a lot of fun and without doubt, every year, there is at least one egg that stays hiding! The hunt was started to after Megan (DeRay's daughter and my best friend growing up) and I got married. Our parents decided that they needed to help us out and this was an easy way. It kind of back fired when all our younger brothers got the big finds. Oh, well! Its so much fun and nobody really cares about the amount of money that they make! The boys also got to do a egg hunt. When Peter would find an egg, he would insist upon opening it up and seeing what was inside. In one, he found a dollar and he was so excited! He runs up screaming to us..."I found a thousand dollar. I found a thousand dollar," and promptly put it in his pocket! It was so cute and funny!
This is Anthony finding an egg that had been hidden in the dead flowers that are up by the top of my parents driveway! The Dads got very sneaky this year and hidden alot of the eggs in things like dead plants, the snow, and the trees.
This is the Dads (my Dad John in the brown and my second dad, DeRay in the stripes) keeping track of where we hid the eggs. They mapped out where they hid them and then had us report when we found one so they could mark it off. They love this almost as much as we do!
This is James and Glen looking for some eggs. The Dads were giving out clues to help us find the last few eggs. They said to look by the burn pile but it was really about 10 feet from them in the grass. Notice that James is moving a tree and Glen is kicking through the burn heap to find the eggs. They were getting a little desperate!
This is Glen after he had found some of his eggs. Poor guy, he ended up being the one that was short one egg because it got lost.
Last of all, this is Chad after he found an egg in the bird feeder! His face says it all!

FUN!!! I can't believe that Peter turned three. I think the same thing. Mya is going to be four in a couple of months. Who got the big money this year with the easter hunt? Did they have to dig for it like they did that one year when it was under the bricks? How much did you make this year?
Well... I hate to brag but I did get the big money this year and yeah we had to dig for some it. Some were in the snow or buried under dieing plants. I made about $38!
Wow! It looks like you were busy yesterday with all these blog updates!! I can't believe Peter is three! He's such a great kid and I really miss him in nursery! We also really miss you in Primary. And that's such a fun idea! Hide money in eggs! Looks like you all had a blast! We miss you!
