Easter

We gathered at my sister's house early Saturday morning for our family Easter egg hunt. While the Easter bunny (aka uncles) hid the Easter eggs, Nana gathered all the grandchildren for a story about the Easter bunny. My mother is a master storyteller, the children were captivated.

The kids were called outside by age to begin their hunt.

There were eggs o'plenty.

The uncles got creative and hid orange eggs in the orange tree. Kiki decided that an orange was as good as any old egg.

But by far the best Easter prank of the day was Uncle Jonathan's. He stuck a pink marshmallow Peep to the back of a sleeping lizard in the middle of the grass and then waited to see which niece or nephew would take the bait. It was McKinsey, she reached out to grab the peep and it scurried away, looking a little confused she chased after her fleeing marshmallow, it stopped, she reached down to pick it up again and squealed as it wiggled under her fingers, finally she realized there was a lizard underneath her coveted marshmallow. But that was no deterrent, she boldly reached down pryed the Peep off the terrified lizard and promptly popped it into her mouth. Needless to say it was the humorous highlight of the hunt for all of us.
