Thank goodness Carlos was able to fix the plumbing ($600), in time for the Egg Party, and I will not have to worry about that. Having a 91 year old house means many things are falling apart. Right now the walls are cracking all over the place from settling. It is a little unnerving to see.
This year I made a tres leche cake, a chocolate mayonnaise cake with chocolate frosting, potato salad, hummus, and guacamole. I managed to forget the tahini in the hummus, but it still was mostly eaten up.
Prize baskets.
I managed to forget to take pictures of people decorating eggs. And I am too tired to go to the fridge and take a photo of decorated eggs. Having a party is a lot of work. Cleaning, more cleaning, yardwork, cooking, more cleaning.
Egg Hunters.
There were over 400 eggs to find, so it took a while.

I had a basket of goodies for the five kids and three for the adults who found the most plastic eggs.

Daffodils.
Not as many people as usual for the party. They lined up in front at 3:00 and I yelled Go!

Luke and Allen finding eggs.
Honestly, it was easier to guess who had the most eggs rather than count them.
Tim (1st), David (2nd), and Allison (3rd).
The kids had a great time and the adults did too. It was nice having my friends over and I got to visit with everyone.
