Spending Easter on the farm with Oma and Opa has become somewhat a tradition. We look forward to a bit of fun with extended family even though its a short celebration.
Up first is the Odell town Easter egg hunt. It was a chilly afternoon making the run out to get eggs and run back in to collect money short and sweet. Everyone was broken down into ages. Micah and Victoria were in the Pre-K, K and 1st grade group.
One little girl is excited to find some eggs.
Izzy made friends with Lexi (purple coat) while waiting for their turn. It was fun to see them find eggs as a team. Izzy was in the oldest group (3rd, 4th and 5th grades).
While being home you are bound to run into old classmates. I'm sure to find Andrea and Barb as many events when I return home.
The kids get a dollar for every egg they find. This year, it was $4 maximum. Instead of dollar bills, dollar coins were given creating a smidge of confusion before explained.
Dyeing Easter eggs is also a tradition the kids enjoy. As they get older, their patience and skills have improved. Oma and Izzy got creative with clear glue and glitter. Micah wanted none of this sparkliness opting for his two favorite colors - green and blue. Victoria however relished all that sparkles!
Our final products!
We woke up to a white surprise Easter morning... SNOW! Approximately 5 inches fell throughout the day. I was glad we all had longish sleeves but cringed knowing the girls had sandals on. Izzy figured out how to walk on her heels to avoid snow getting on her toes. The snow meant no Easter egg hunt outside. Have no fear... the Easter Bunny made his way inside. Izzy's getting more keen as she gets older. We took two cars to church as one cannot hold all of us. When we returned home, Opa drove in the lane after us. This stumped Izzy as she couldn't explain then how the eggs made it inside.
I'm sure this is one of many pictures to come with Izzy not wanting me to take her picture.
Time to go through our loot!
