Easter morning the boys received their Easter baskets - I tried to keep them simple with swim toys, bathing suits, beach towels, and new Dodgers t-shirts, but I did throw in a pair of bunny ears, some hot wheels, and licorice for good measure. We once again combined families into one big celebration which is always a lot of fun. The Stoothoffs were able to join in the chaos as well, which meant we had five egg hunters this year (way better than when 20 of us used to follow just Reed around)!!! It's so fun watching the Littles hunt eggs and even more fun spectator watching. I had rules for the egg hunt - the kids had to let me take a picture beforehand, they each had one big egg with their name on it to hunt for, and the main rule being Ben and Maisie were the only ones allowed to get the eggs that were just laying on the grass. For their part Reed, Kieran, and Lyla did a great job leaving those eggs alone. We tried to make lunch simple and took up Grandma, Pepe, and Aunt Penny on their offers to bring side dishes. We couldn't have ordered nicer weather, it was warm but overcast, a perfect day to spend outside. Maisie, Zach, Lyla, and Kieran all managed to take naps in the afternoon so a lot of us played games out in the yard and had a few drinks while soaking up the nice weather.
