Easter

So one of my plans for Easter was to wake up early and make Nic hot cross buns. We had them for the first time last year and I was really excited to try making them myself. After staying up really late the night before making the cupcake pops, I was not feeling up to it...I guess I will have to save that one for next year.

We went to Oma and Opa's house first. We ate Aunt Heidi's delicious deviled eggs. Uncle Eddie brought his famous guacamole and he and Lynette made delicious enchiladas too. I brought mexican meatballs and my easter egg cake pops. We ate and talked and Oma kept panicking that Jeffrey was going to fall in the pool (he is 7 and knows how to swim). Of course we gave Oma a hard time about it, she still has such a great sense of humor. After a few hours of eating and chatting Aunt Heidi suggested that we hide eggs in for the kids. So of course, I questioned, Are Nic and I kids? Or have we graduated to adulthood? (I was secretly hoping that we would still get to do the hunt). Aubrey and Katelyn said they wanted us to do the hunt with them (Yes!) so the "adults" hid the eggs and us "kids" all hunted for them together. It was a lot of fun as always. :)

From there we went to the Mercier's house to catch the tail end of their Easter celebration. I got to see Carlie and her ring!! We watched the kids hunt for eggs. Then we got to paticipate in the famous Mercier adult egg hunt! It was hilarious! Everyone changed into tennis shoes and it became very serious all of a sudden. After Chuck went through the "de-brief" everyone took off running. People were scaling the hill, climbing over the fence, digging through bushes, climbing on top of the camper...I couldn't stop laughing at how intense it was. I love how competitive everyone got. I ended up finding $7 and Nic ended up with $12. Paul told me even he found more money than me so i obviously have room for improvement next year. I know now that a dress and flip flops just won't cut it. ;) Thanks Merciers for a fun Easter!
