Easter egg hunt

Right before the hunt

(please ignore my muffin top...nasty)

So for the last 5 years or so, my parents have an Easter egg hunt for the adults (me and my brothers and our spouses). Instead of candy, the eggs are filled with money. It has gotten more and more serious each year. We run around like crazy people. You would think there were hundreds of dollars hidden. This year there were 175 eggs. Each couple plans and decides the best egg finding techniques in hopes of finding the most eggs and the most money. Last year a trophy was constructed and the names of the winning couple was gloriously etched (okay drawn on with a sharpie) on the trophy (I'll have to post a picture of it soon). Morgan and I won last year. This year, Morgan and I were hoping to keep our winning streak alive. Well, we are again the reigning champions. We got $33.50! Ty and Charise came in second with $28 (or so), and in last place were Rob and Shell with $17 and change. So, Ty, Charise, Rob and Shell, you better start practicing and plotting for next year. Morg and I plan to continue our winning streak! Yeah, for adults acting like children.

You guys are so funny! I had no idea it was that intense! 175 eggs! Your parents are crazy! I can only imagine that in your mommy's flower garden back there! I bet it was nuts! How long did it take you? Gwen is darling! I love her pretty easter dress and always her crazy smile!

hey stanleys, it's the faleschinis. i wonder if pete and i would be able to beat you in this game. pete is not really the best at finding things, even if they are right in front of him in the fridge...so maybe not.
