easter egg hunt

we had several of our friends over on saturday for an easter egg hunt

gathering. we hid somewhere around 250 eggs!

we filled them up with candy and surprises for the kiddies.

made some yummy snacks for the grown kiddies and just enjoyed each others company! the kids had a ball.

very sweet to watch them run around the yard with their baskets and fill them up with eggs!
