Easter Fun

Easter is always a fun holiday.  It was Kaylee's first real time decorating eggs.  Instead of dying them, she painted them, and she loves to paint!  The boys dyed their eggs using a pinterest special, wire whisks.  Unfortunately, the eggs didn't ever really get eaten, but it was fun decorating anyways.  

The Routsong Family always does a big Easter Egg Hunt for all the grandkids.  The older teenager grandkids help fill eggs and then go hide them all over Grandma & Grandpa's property.  The little kids each get a color of egg to find.  This year, Kaylee had to find the pink ones, Jaxton had to find the yellow ones, and Cooper had to find the orange ones.  There were equal numbers of eggs in every color.  The kids had a blast searching, and then had a blast discovering what was inside.  Grandma always hides one big black egg with dollar bills inside.  Cooper was the lucky finder's keeper!!  He found that egg and found a $10 bill inside.  He was on top of the world!!  He was so proud of his find and was showing off his prize everywhere he went.  Uncle Mike offered to give him 2 green $1 bills in exchange for his one.  But Cooper knew enough math to understand that the 10 on his bill meant more than two that said $1 on each of them.  It was funny watching him contemplate this trade and then decide against it.  :-).  What a fun day with family!!  And a beautiful spring day!
