Easter egg hunt


Today we had Turkey at Grandma's house and an Easter egg hunt. Watching each of the children and how they interact with each other when there is chocolate to be found can be interesting. First they raced out and Cerys was in tears as she was shoved by an older one, then I watched Jared take Imogen's hand and whisper "come on midge I'll help you find an egg". The rule was you could find an egg and if you wanted to find another and swap it you could. So of course they kept looking and changing and then they started to barter and exchange with each other and then there was tears as there was a realization that there was chocolate orange eggs. AAAAAaaaaaaggggghhhhhhhhh! John and I learned one important lesson this year - get them all the same egg next year :) (thanks for Grandma's Jo, Brenda and Barbie for the eggs this year)

Lovely seeing all of the children together in one photo, and I like the same egg for all lesson. Marie has made me a chocolate easter egg this year from molds that she bought online. I haven't seen it yet. I have to wait until tomorrow!

Yes Dave John and I were saying how terrible we are for getting them all together for photographs. Perhaps because of the challenge involved! Still trying to get on your blog Dawn, will try again today.

Wow you guys have some huge chocolate over there, and sadly I bet it all taste's good, unlike the US Hershey's stuff which tastes like wax.

(Oh. PS. My wife and I just figured out you have 11 children, no wonder you never answered my email :) )

Do you know I have said to John "I wonder why Mark hasn't answered my message asking him if he was lds?" For some strange reason your messages have never shown on flickr, I have had to go find them in my gmail account, sorry about that, I never check it, I will now. Yes we do have great chocolate here and my kids eat way to much at Easter, they get eggs from their grandparents so we don't buy them any. We will have to send you some . Although it is very addictive!!
