Every year we have an Easter Egg Hunt. It seems over the years that it has gotten smaller and smaller, I guess that's cuz the kids are getting bigger and bigger. We only had 3 this year...kids not egg hunts. But there are some things that will never change and one of those things will always be "hiding an egg in your sock".
Ever since I can remember, my Papa always hid an egg in his sock. It just made his day and he would sit and sit till someone found that egg! Every year! And every year the kids who had been around for awhile, knew it was there. The new kids...not so much. It has been a family tradition and will continue you on as long as there are little ones to play along. This year my Papa wasn't around to watch the hunt so my dad, aka Pop, took over. I think he's done it a few times and I think he enjoys it a little to much..just a little. Maybe it's the inner 8 yr old that craves to come out constantly!
I didn't get a very good picture and I'm sure that you all are dissappointed...but picture if you will and egg in his sock...got it? Good.
We had to go through the whole, "you're getting hotter, hotter, oops now your cold, oh oh oh almost there, hotter, colder, WARM....you got it!!!
You are warm....

Warmer...hot...oohhh colder....

YES!!! CHA CHING!!!

Oh the excitement!!!
Everyone also gets a prize egg...
it's got their name on it and just maybe a little cash!
It's wonderful to have family traditions even if they seem small and silly! I love each and every one of ours. We had a great day and was nice that my sister was able to join us, even though she is following strict bedrest orders! We called and she said, I can't wait to get up and get out of here. There was no begging or anything! Hmmm....Isn't that the way it was Sheli? Oops, did I screw up? Oh yeah....we hog tied her and threw her on the tractor....maybe it was on the horse.....hmmm, I hope her doctor doesn't read this.....
Anyhoo, do you have Easter traditions that you want to share? I would love to hear them!
