Easter Sunday we all got together at Grammy Greats house for dinner and Matt & Nettie's annual egg hunt. Megan had the kids find a few eggs hidden downstairs that were filled with objects that represented the Easter story. After that, the kids were handed a basket with a list of colored eggs and the amount they were to find. Matt told everyone that there was one GRAND prize egg hidden in the mix of everything. The kids had a ball running around the yard finding eggs. All the eggs had been found except the Grand prize egg. The kids were frantically running around looking for it. The adults were skeptical and praying that our own kids were not the lucky ones to find it after last year's prize. We did not want baby chicks! The golden Grand prize egg was located in grammy Ann's purse. Wouldn't you know it...Kaitlyn was the "lucky" one to find it. Adam and I's stomachs sank as we heard Kaitlyn was the one that found it. It wasn't a surprise since that kid wins everything! She is one lucky kid. Adam was saying a quick prayer under his breath that Kaitlyn would be kind and give it to one of the cousins. Our nightmare was coming true as the rules were that no one could open the egg before Matt told them something about it. Little cousin Kaylee wanted to carry the egg and opened it with the contents spilling onto the floor. Adam and I happened to walk back inside as grandpa was sweeping up rabbit pellets from all over the floor. As Adam would say: "It's now a perfect time to panic!" We both looked at each other and said: "Oh crap!" We didn't need anymore pets! Matt stepped out onto the front porch and brought back in a covered box. Nettie reached in a pulled out a huge popcorn bowl filled with all sorts of treats! Nettie always has our backs! She said she wasn't about to let Matt give baby bunnies away. As you could imagine Adam and I were quite relieved! We had just dodged a bullet! Kaitlyn was so sweet to share as she let everyone pick something from the basket to keep. Fun evening with family!
