Easter Egg Hunt with the Miller Family

I was so excited when Tyson told me that his parents were planning their annual Easter egg hunt with the grandkids a week early this year!! We were going to be in town the two weekends before Easter but back to Utah for Easter weekend. I was so bummed knowing I'd miss Easter with family and that egg hunt until he told me the awesome news. And just like last year the Easter egg hunt was a blast and a half! It was held in Tyson's parents' backyard with all of the cousins who live in Idaho. (Bailey and Connor, you two were missed!!) It was so cozy and fun. We all had a great time! Especially the kiddos, and Brycen in particular! He enjoyed it so much more this year.

*Tyson's parents do such a fun hunt every year. His mom fills a whole bunch of eggs with candy, as well as coins, and writes each child's initial on them so they all have an even amount of eggs. The kids run around and pick up the eggs with the inital that matches their name. The parents of the kids also contribute to the hunt by filling eggs but leaving them blank on the outside. These eggs are free game and the kids can grab them as they choose. There are also bigger treats spread out across the lawn from the grandparents. Some of these include peeps, Pez dispensers, and chocolate bunnies. Each of them have an initial on them as well. It works out really well and it's so much fun!

 Brycen loved picking up the eggs! He was distracted at first and was happy with one egg. Then when he realized what the other kids were doing he was all into it. 

 Tyson eventually had to start helping Byrcen again when he wanted to run around with the other kids.

 Jack was so excited about his treats!

 Each child was also given an Easter outfit from Grandma and Gramps, placed randomly in the yard and inside a gift bag. The parents got their own kids a special toy as well and placed it in the yard. The kids loved it!

These kids made out with a haul! I had a hard time getting good pictures when we got inside, having switched my lens from auto focus to manual focus somewhere between there and being outside. I didn't realize what had happened till it was too late. So of course all of the indoor ones were blurry! I had to save this one though, even though it's perfectly blurry. Brycen LOVES putting money in his bank and was so excited when he saw the quarters in the eggs. He was so happy to show me!

 The kids also got to go out and hold the baby chicks that day. Gramps is taking care of them to bring out to the dairy to the petting zoo. Brycen didn't want to hold them but he loved touching their soft fur! It was a fun activity.

 Cooper loved them too!
