The Annual Apostol Egg Hunt

Jake's entire extended family wasn't able to get together over Easter weekend, so last weekend we had the annual Apostol egg hunt (plus it landed on Greek Easter, so it all worked out perfectly).  Jake has some of the awesomest grandparents who really try and make every occasion so special for the grandkids and great-grandkids and this was no exception.  The weather was pretty yucky that day, but they moved it inside and had each family or group of people rotate rooms to hunt for the goods.  Each year--this one included--after the fun of the hunt is over, all the loot gets put into a pile and divided evenly so everyone goes home a winner. I am not sure who had more fun hunting Jake (for his dollar bills...they are quite the big deal to find) or Carder with his replenished year supply of candy and treats.

The Masterminds

Us...and yes we are covered with water splotches...it decided to start hailing when we got there and we were attacked from the moment we got out of our car until we got into their house

Brenn (who was still a little confused about the freezing ice that just attacked her outside) and Jake

  
Carder (doing all his faces for Grandma)

The hunters in action

My team taking a break to pose for a picture for Mom.  My kids were so happy, but of course, when I bust out my camera no smiles, just the deer in the headlights look!?!

Jake's cousin Kristen and his sister Emily...look at those bags...they pretty much dominated the finding!

All the goodies being sorted...

Carder was so excited he could hardly stand it

Brenn patiently awaiting her treats (she got a special bag full of Gerber puffs and other yummy, healthy baby treats)

Carder with Jake's cousin Matt...These stairs are open on one side going down to the basement. Carder loves to lay up there and just look down on everyone and watch what's going on
