Each year, Easter is the same.
Brit and I fill our baskets together.
The kids wake up and find their baskets.
(I was informed by Navy that hers is always in the oven!)
After church, we always head to the Brockbank million-egg hunt!
My kids are master lookers.
This year, my mom went to town. She donated a $100 egg, two $50 eggs, several $20 eggs, and various others. (A couple college kids and one working high school kid were in the mix.) The kids looked really hard. They were also hidden really hard. (Climb the tree, and one was in a crevice you could only see once up the tree.)
Everyone was deflated when Navy found the first $50 egg, and Scout found the second one. The others were divied out to everyone…but the $100 egg was still out for grabs. Everyone looked like crazy. I finally had to give them the half of the yard it was on. They looked and looked…and Navy scored it! It was awesome…but there seemed to be a monopoly, so I told Navy to take the $50 egg and re-hide it. I really wanted these starving college students to get it. The feelings were mixed on her hiding it again…but she did, and let the beast out of their cages. They looked pretty hard, and Doey celebrated when she found it!!! I was so excited..and Doey was elated…UNTIL…she opened it and it was empty. We looked over at Navy, and she said, “You only told me to hide the egg!”
In the end, Navy was at least $150 richer that day…good thing she is a proponent of watching her account get bigger. I looked at Doey and mouthed “I’m sorry”, but Doey thought it was a good move on Navy’s part.
After the hunt, B made his famous milkshakes, and we all sat back to the most exciting thing of the day….
We got to watch Gabe open his mission call to Viet Nam!

Easter is always the same…but if it ain’t broke…
