Happy Easter (+7)

So we have a strange little "tradition" in our family. Since SuperHubby and I both work during Easter services, we usually aren't able to go out to my aunt and uncle's for Easter and the massive Easter Egg Hunt. Most of the time we just miss it altogether; last year, because of unforeseen monsoons hitting the area, our egg hunt actually happened at Thankgiving. This year, we postponed the celebration one week, which happened to also be my grandmother's birthday, and we had a great time with what I'm afraid may be the last of the big egg hunts. We stuffed and hid almost 300 eggs (the boys and I stuffed, SH and The Professor hid).


I helped hide a couple of eggs. We have a tradition of hiding 2 special eggs...a gold and a silver egg. The silver egg has silver coins in it; the golden egg has 5 gold $1 coins. The Professor and I hid the silver egg inside my gas cap. Hey, the kids are older now, let 'em work for it!




Spanky found the silver egg...but only after my sis-in-law gave the hint "THINK SILVER!"




And Froggie found the golden egg. He was so proud. He didn't even care that we told him where it was.
