Easter Egg Party

The Annual Anderson Easter Egg Hunt took place one week early. Everyone (Brad, Katie & Wes) were going to be out of town Easter Weekend. So the first thing, was color the Eggs! I found a sponge on color kit, that was a lot less messy than the "in the bowl of vinegar water stuff" We color them every year......and then what? They are still in the refrigerator. Everyone contributed the Eggs, some good...some not so good. Will any one ever use the Plum Wine? Nora wasn't sure she liked the trading part, when Sara's egg had the Doll House Car, and her egg, had clothes for Sara. So that trade was made quickly. Holly and Sam had Nora pick out the things for her eggs at the $ store. She was surprised when other people ended up with the things that she had purchased. The Grocery Game that the Anderson's and the Rosene rs play on a regular basis, was the source of a lot of the "gifts" Socks for the Men, new dish towels for the women, and toys for the Grand kids were in my 40 eggs, I have to much fun!

Grandma really GOOFED! I had Nora help me fill my eggs (put the papers in them), and then when it came time to hide them, (spread them on the grass) she helped me do that. It was the family Easter Party. I wasn't thinking Easter Bunny. So....the other day she asked her mom what was the Easter Bunny going to bring her...She has friends talking about this....and her mom said, the Easter Bunny? It came at grandmas! Nora's reply, probably with THE look in her eye.."No he didn't, I helped Grandma hide the Eggs!" So I hope the "Easter Bunny" made an appearance at the Rosener home, because he didn't come to Grandmas house! Not much gets by her.

It still amazes me that the kids like this famiy tradition. I thought they would outgrow it as adults. Now for me it is all about the Grand kids.
