The day before Easter we had a family Easter Egg hunt at our house. Justin & Cari & their kids came over as did my dad.
(This would be the last time my dad would leave his house for fun. His health went downhill from this day on, but this day will live in my memory of him forever. He was so cute searching for eggs, giggling & laughing like a kid again. I miss him so much.)
I filled & hid a ton of eggs all around our backyard. Some had candy, some had small toys, & in true Potter Family fashion, some had money.
I always laugh at how into this the kids get. They are pushing each other, stealing each other's eggs, trying to beat each other out for the big items that are hidden.
And then in a matter of minutes. . . it's over.
Afterward, we went inside to see what each person had. We always like to see who winds up with the most money & who gets the most empty eggs. (The most empty eggs is always a prize that has to do with Easter & Christ. This year I gave out scripture markers & stickers)
We visited as a family & I got this adorable video of my sweet dad laughing at the video Trek made for his end of year party at work.
Later that night I put on a passover dinner for the family. It required a LOT of prep work, but overall, I think it was really neat to celebrate the Easter Season & what it's really about.
It was a WONDERFUL Easter Eve!
