The GREAT EASTER EGG HUNT!!

Saturday, April 3rd was our traditional Rogers family Easter egg hunt. It is a favorite get together for the cousins. Suzie's brother Mark, and his wife Gainell always host. Suzie and I do the eggs for the hunt. The eggs were filled with all kinds of treats! Balloons, ring pops, chocolate and gummie eggs, pixie sticks, bubble tape, money..... lots of 'things and stuff'. When we were finished filling eggs we had 600 plus items to hide! We are lucky it turned out to be a nice day and we had a lot of yard to work with!
The HUNTERS!! There were a lot of eggs for not very many hunters! Someone asked if there was a reason we were using trick or treat bags instead of Easter baskets. Uh yeah... The bags hold a lot more treats than baskets and they don't spill! Actually, they almost hold too much! Some of the little kids couldn't even lift their bag when they were finished with the hunt.
Not Grandma and Grandpa (yet) but we are Mr. and Mrs. EASTER BUNNY. Next year we need hats! While we were watching the kids hunt eggs we were already making plans for next year to make the hunt even bigger and better!
My favorite Easter girls! Erin, Deni and Sami. The Easter egg hunt is as much a family tradition as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Everyone makes every effort to be there if they can. The only one missing from our picture is Scott. But one more Easter and then he will be back in our picture!
Oh YEAH, oh yeah!! Eggs, eggs, eggs! Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate! Money, money, money!
