Our two little ones did an egg hunt in the backyard. Usually, we participate in a neighborhood egg hunt, but this year that was definitely cancelled. I think I've hid eggs for my girls only a few times, and never for Maeve. I found hiding eggs to be really fun. The two littlers loved finding eggs. At the age their at, there's so much excitement in finding one egg and they were not competitive at all. It was so sweet.

For the older two, we did our traditional scavenger hunt. They love that and were so excited! Conor did a great job coming up with clues for them!

Dying Easter eggs felt a little frivolous when the number of eggs we can buy is currently limited, however I decided to still dye eggs although we did dye fewer than we would have otherwise done. The kids love dying eggs so much.

We made some messes and crafts before Easter. Holly looked up and lead the making of rice filled rabbits for everyone. It was pretty fun to watch my independent 10 year old own a craft like that!

Some photos from a little neighborhood egg hunt at the local park. I like egg hunts and I don't. I like how cute my 2 year old is finding eggs and putting them in her bucket. I don't like the competition and the expectations that don't line up. Tempted to do our own egg hunt next year with friends? But I also love going to this one and seeing friends!

Our Easter tradition is to put together a Scavenger Hunt for our girls and at the end they find a little parcel of prizes. We keep it small; this year's treats included candy and a t-shirt. Maeve had a little less candy and some Sesame Street figurines in her basket. Our girls are so thrilled by this tradition and you can see it in their smiles. It's fun!
