Easter 2010

It was chaos for a moment when the kids saw the eggs lying on the carpet.  We went to plan B since it was raining badly (and it was not supposed to rain..." but it was equally fun).  The kids had fun.

All the kids including the munchkins collected eggs.  I thought Santana and Arianna will just stare at the other kids, but nope they put quite a bit of eggs in their baskets.  The girls helped them too.  How nice of them.

Besides the eggs and after the rain squashed my map hunting for the treasure.  I came up with another solution.  I wrote the name of each of the kids and hid it in the basement.  I told them that the Easter bunny said that they needed to work as a team, and unless everyone found their name... no treasure can be unlocked.  The same went for the rare eggs.  Each needed one of each.  It worked.  Everyone helped everyone, the smaller eggs where first come first served. 
I did buy a small toy to each of the kids: Surge and slinky dog from Toy Story, batman car, project runaway for the big girls (they came with the templates to draw dresses, hair styles, etc...), and a car for Santana.
Plus everyone got a notebook and a box of crayola.  (Well, the crayola was needed for school, but they loved it).

I picked one picture that I liked from each kid...

 

Everyone started playing together...

The adults in the other hand were relaxing, but having fun as well.

Food was good.  People were great. Ari gave us a big tantrum at the end of the night, good thing is that she felt asleep and woke up her normal self.  She is after all 21/2 years old.  But, overall was a good night.
