#Target Easter Basket is ready.....almost


All my eggs are in my Target Easter Basket! 

I ran to Target the other day to get more eggs, I always have some left over from the year before but always buy more.  It is so fun to watch all the kids run around looking for these colorful plastic eggs.  Some are filled with money and others with candy, the kids love both.  

Easter afternoon is so fun.   The adults hide all the eggs, while the kids wait anxiously in the house.   Once we are done, the little kids go first, they get first pick.   Then, the bigger kids are let loose and it is such crazy fun to watch them searching high and low.   About 10 minutes later, the kids sit on the lawn and pour out their Easter baskets and open each egg to find their treasures.  As they are opening each egg, candy is being popped into their mouths; they are chomping and chewing while counting their coins and bills.   We all wait to hear, “I got it”, the golden egg, stuffed with a $10 bill.   Everyone cheers and all the kids circle around while the winner shows them their loot with such pride.

This weekend, we still start the process of stuffing eggs as well as coloring real Eggs.   I thought once the kids got older, they would not enjoy it as much but they did, but they still do; it’s such a fun creative tradition.
