The much-anticipated day has finally arrived....dying easter eggs! The kids found the kit for coloring the eggs several weeks before and the "is-it-almost-time" questions began! Although it was a bit of a gloomy day outside, it was sure bright and cheery inside--just look at those faces! Maren did make an appearance and colored her eggs, but no documentation.
Natalie did a beautiful job coloring her eggs-
Now our easter bunny got smart this year and delivered the baskets and goodies on Saturday morning--way to go easter bunny!
The kids had to find and figure out clues left by the easter bunny to locate their baskets. The clues lead them from the grill outside to the game closet downstairs to the laundry room (dryer) to the mailbox-
and finally ended here!
In fact, they searched the bathroom and were all leaving when Millie looked up and found their baskets hanging in the shower! That bunny is super sneaky!
Eli enjoyed his cherrio-filled eggs. But he was just as happy with the empty ones!
Eli found his gold dollar, which is put up for safe keeping!
It was so nice to have the candy and all the hype over on Saturday so that the focus on Sunday morning was that which is of greater importance. Our Savior. It was a wonderfully simple Easter!

Could you provide the contact info for the Easter Bunny so I can request that type of activity for our address next year? :) Love you guys! My neices and nephews are the most adorable on the planet!
What a cute family! I love the hunt the easter bunny sent the children on! How delightful!
I love that hunt for the baskets, too! I also just love all five of yours with their baskets at the table---and Eli with his Cheerio eggs.
Great idea! We're doing that next year for sure. It seems our Easter came and went so fast and Luke's b-day was the same day, and we had people over, so the true meaning of Easter was just lost in all of the other stuff that was going on! Thanks for the inspiration!
Fun pictures! What a great idea to do an Easter Basket hunt. The kids look so cute running all over. I love Eli's little hands.:)
Your kids are so cute!! I wish we lived closer. We NEED a Mills reunion!!
email me your address so I can add you to our blog list:_
