easter hunt #2






the monday before easter i started scheming and decided to have an egg hunt and cookie decorating party for the kids who live around us. we have been trying to get to know our neighbors and thought this would be a good chance to hang out with some of them. norton made the invitations-very nice, of course. i walked around and handed them out. friday night i was up making various shapes of sugar cookies and norton helped fill about 250 eggs. i tried to keep them candy-free but norton didn't think that was very "easterly" so he drove to rite aid and bought some candy. i think the party turned out well. there were 10 kids and their parents. they decorated cookies while parents hid eggs and then we all went out and turned the kids loose in our yard and the next door neighbor's yard. this time townsend and ellory knew what to do so they had pretty full baskets. :) we were thankful that it didn't rain which was predicted. just a bit windy. but all in all a good time.
