Easter

We tried a couple of fun things this year. I don't have pictures yet because Jared's dad was taking them. This year I told Miles that his Easter basket was hiding, and he'd have to find it. I gave him an egg and inside was a clue. He (with the help of his aunt) had to follow the trail of clues to find the basket. At first he didn't understand, but near the end he was really getting excited to find the clues!

After he'd found the basket and looked at what was inside we went to a neighbor's house. We took dessert and some campaign over for the egg hunt. I'd dropped off eggs earlier in the day and her husband hid them in the yard. It was fun to let the kids hunt together. We didn't really have any problems with fights over eggs either. In fact, the kids were pretty slow to find them. Miles stopped after every egg to eat the candy, and Malory is 20 months and doesn't quite understand. At some point when they'd slowed down, we just picked up the rest of the eggs with candy and put them away!
