Third Annual Easter Egg Hunt

This year marked the third annual Bigelow Easter egg hunt. Two of my mom's sisters live nearby and the past few years we have gotten together the Saturday before Easter for a huge egg hunt at Jane's house. The kids have a blast, and it is the highlight of the weekend.

My aunts, Jenny and Jane
The kids run out the back door and don't stop until every egg is found. The Easter Bunny is never stingy with the eggs!


Cousin Ben & Theo

Nora caught on to the idea pretty well.
Checking out the lootGetting together with this side of my family is so fun because it reminds me of Grandma Bigelow (my mom's mom). She always celebrated holidays BIG and one of her favorites was Easter. Easter will always remind me of her! She and Grandpa would host a huge Easter egg hunt on their farm, regardless of the weather. I wish I were better at making holidays special for my kids. Some of my clearest and fondest holiday memories involve Grandma!

I love egg hunts! I love that our kids are old enough to enjoy them almost as much as we do!
