The Peterson Family Easter Egg Hunt was held at our house today after the second session after General Conference (the men ate quick and ran to the Priesthood Session while us ladies and kids just hung out). We filled hundreds of egg, hid them all over the backyards and got the kids psyched up inside to go hunt for eggs. We gave the little ones: Brittney, Wesley, Emma and A. J., a one minute head start before we turned the rest of the kids loose (Mallory, Hayley, Colton, Leah, Andrew, Kaitlin, and Connor). While the kids were out hunting for eggs, THE EASTER BUNNY, showed up! The kids were kind of surprised but most of the kids were trying to fill up their baskets that they didn't give her a second look until all the eggs were found. I don't know where or how my Mom ended up with an Easter Bunny costume but she dressed up when the kids were out looking for eggs. It was funny listening to a few of the kids conversations about the Easter Bunny. I heard Hayley saying to her cousin Kaitlin, "That isn't the real Easter Bunny. It is just somebody dressed up like the Easter Bunny because it has a zipper up their back!"

We took all of the candy from the eggs, dumped it in bowls and divided it between families (Mallory and Hayley's buckets were totally filled with eggs). Grandma had brought a few extra treats which she added to each families bags.
When the men got back, we sat around and talked while the kids played. The kids put on several "Shows" for us and we had a great time.
Happy Easter!!
