Easter and the joys of chocolate chip cookies

Here are the boys waiting for the cookies to finish. They sat here for the entire 12 minutes it took for them to cook. Then we stuck the hot cookies in the freezer to speed up the waiting process. They love to help make cookies and if I do say so myself, I have the best chocolate chip cookie recipe...On Sunday we had an Easter egg hunt around the house (rainy outside). We hid 34 eggs with candy, coins, dollar bills and the grand prize of the $5 dollar egg. The boys were so excited they could hardly contain themselves all afternoon. Let the race begin!
Luke was mostly excited for an egg filled with five little chocolate eggs, he told me exactly where to hid it for him...and I followed the boy's instructions to a T.
Searching, searching, where o where is that big orange grand prize egg?
Lily found one egg, with help from Daddy. Which she promptly set down and the dog ate the whole thing, plastic and all.
Notice the big pink egg with all the candy next to it! That's one happy boy.

And of course Owen found the $5 dollar egg, he was worried that Luke might feel bad so he gave Luke all of the quarters that he found. And Luke still thinks that he has more money because he's got more coins. Ahh, I love the innocence of youth.

  1. How fun! I love the joy on Luke's face with his eggs. And how sweet of Owen to think of his brothers. You must be one proud mama!
