Hello! I celebrated Easter with my family yesterday because I’m going to be in Boston for the Boston Marathon next weekend. (EEEK!) So, my lil familia was nice enough to do out annual confetti egg hunt a week early. (I think it’s mostly because they enjoy smashing eggs in my hair and didn’t want to miss the chance but either way I’m happy.)
First let’s talk about food…
The night before I made a salad with my favorite Costco salad kit and I mixed in a lot of broccoli.
I also filled up some plastic eggs with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cereal. I figured it was a healthier option than straight up candy.
The confetti eggs hunt party is kind of a new thing. My SIL Heathie brought it to us when she joined the family. The first year I had no idea until we were hunting and suddenly – SMASH! I got a confetti egg to the head! And it was on.
My brothers are my favorites.
My favorite tiny person loved the egg hunt this year – last year she was not feeling it.
Happy Easter! (Actually it’s Palm Sunday today but I hope you have a chance to spend some quality time with your people.)

Our family loves the confetti eggs! But let me ask you about that peanut buttery looking goodness with the sliced apples. What is that and how can I get some in my belly??

We also do confetti eggs… I have stockpiled four boxes… but might need to get more! I have a huge family and you are right once the confetti eggs are out it is on!! The confetti does get everywhere and you still find it weeks later… but the little kids AND the big kids love it!!

Haha, I’d hate to clean up all the confetti. It was fun reading about your Easter egg hunt because I’ve never heard anything like that in my culture.
