I can't believe we have been hosting our
Easter Eggstravaganza for 8 years!
It all started the first year we lived at the
house on Terrace Dr. The neighbors wanted
to get together and have a "block egg hunt".
Well, by the time it was all said and done,
it was at our house! : )
That first year wasn't quite as big as it is today,
and it didn't include craft, snack or egg-dying,
but it was still fun. And, we've been adding friends
and fellowship every year since!
Thanks to a wonderful trip to Jamaica for Dave and I,
our party was on Easter Day this year.
Despite the busy weekend, our "usual crew" were
all able to make it.
We had a fabulous time making cupcakes, dyeing eggs,
playing games, and of course, hunting for eggs!
Thank you to our dear family, friends and "extended family"
for celebrating this Holy and wonderful day with us!
God has blessed us with an amazing 'village' to raise
our kids with and we are very grateful for each of you!
And, to make it even more special, cousin Sophie was able
to enjoy her very first RouseHouse Easter party!
We can't wait for her to come back next year and get
in on the egg hunt too!
The basket toss is a favorite game ~
Even Sophie tried to get in on the fun!
Everyone got to decorate their own cupcakes this year.
I think that suited Avery quite well ~
Yes, very well indeed! Wow, that's a cupcake!
Next was the egg dyeing. Amazingly enough,
we have never had an "accident" yet.
Just lots of very colorful eggs ~
Friends are what it's all about ~
Nice job Claire ~
Three great kids, lifelong friends!
What a great bunch of kiddos!

Happy Easter to all our friends and family!
