Annual Neighborhood Egg Hunt

Each year it gets harder and harder to find a day that works for everyone to do the egg hunt. You would think the Saturday before Easter would be the best, but it doesn't seem to work out anymore. This week we did it the Monday before. We didn't have that great of a turnout, but it was still fun. My kids look forward to it every year. And it's 100 times better than trying to find another egg hunt somewhere in town.

We split the kids up so the little ones have a good chance of getting a lot of eggs. So we send the big kids up into the cul de sac, and the little ones start down at the start of the street.

Darcy, McKenna, Maddix, Cutler, Owen, Drake, Noah

Reggie, Brody, Jonah, Maya, Lexie, Callen, Eli, Emmett, Izzy, Bridger

Three little best friends!! They spend as much time as possible with each other every day!

Next door best friends are the best ;)

As usual, Noah was gone before I could take any pictures of him. 

Besides, he's kind of the clean up boy ;)

Each family is supposed to hide/put out 12 eggs per child in their family. We all do way more

just to make sure they all get a decent amount.

And every year, when the kids are all done, the big kids go back through the whole neighborhood and find about 10 more. I think that's Noah's favorite part!!

After the egg hunt we eat. Because, what good is a party without food?!

We've learned that for some get togethers, like this one, getting pizza is the easiest thing.

So Little Caesars pizza and breadsticks it was. Plus a few extras: salad, fruit, and cookies.

I say this every time I do a post about my neighborhood, but it's true...We love our neighbors! We couldn't ask for better people to live by! And having all the kids is a huge bonus too ;)
