The first annual Cleft Egg-stravaganza!!

Since all 3 families were in our homes and functioning well, Stacey (being the party planner) decided to have us all over to their house the Friday of Easter weekend for a delicious dinner and egg hunt. She did a great job of decorating her tables with Easter stuff, having Easter pictures for the kids to color at the table and then coming up with an organized egg hunt for the kids! They had to break into 2 teams and find 8 eggs that were numbered (they had to be found in order). Inside each egg was a fun instruction that the whole group had to do. It was fun to watch!

Here's the crew waiting to hunt eggs. Chuck and Kip were hiding them out back. Blaine is making a silly face (surprise!!) and Jacob is right in the middle. But where's Jarrett????

Bless his heart, Jarrett came down with some funky rash on his cheeks and arms and back and had to be quarantined for the dinner and the egg hunt. He wasn't too upset though . . . he got to watch "Meet the Robinsons" at our house! He did look kind of sad during the egg hunt, however. He was cheered up at the end of the hunt when each of his buddies decided to give him their dollars from the last egg. Mrs. Stacey told them they had to use the dollar to do something for someone else (like Christ's free gift to us) so they decided to give their dollars to Jarrett, since he didn't get to participate. How sweet!
Here are the kids trying to figure out where the eggs are . . .

One of the activities was for the kids to get on the trampoline, jump and sing a song together. I think they decided on "Jesus Loves Me."

Here's Blaine, Will, and Graham's legs -

We look forward to many more traditions!!
