Sophie’s First Easter Egg Hunt!

What started as a idea for an Easter Egg Hunt on Good Friday turned into reality with a group of amazing ladies whom I’ve known online. I have to admit that I’m not such a good planner but we managed to pull it off with everyone chipping in planing activities and games for the day. While the rest hosted, cooked and came armed with crafts, eggs, jelly for the party. It was nothing short of an accomplishment considering how we had to make last minutes change of venue due to the rain.

What’s an Easter Egg Hunt without an egg in spoon relay? Definitely a nostalgic game that I recall playing when I was a kid

Looks like Sophie and Kenan both missed the egg right on top!

Mission accomplished – 3 Easter Eggs all found!

After the egg hunt and games, the kids were in for a treat with chocolates and jelly! You can tell they were very very pleased to be on sugar high 🙂 It was such a heart warming sight to see the kids warm up to each other quickly even though they saw many new faces and I think that’s something that we adults should learn from them, don’t you think?

 

Despite the chaos of having so many adults and kids confined in a function room for the activities, it turned out to be a success judging from all the tired but happy faces. But the best part was having the opportunity to catch up with everyone and meet new friends, hubbies included!

This was Sophie’s first Easter Egg Hunt party and we hope to make this an annual tradition for the group in future too!

Hope you had a lovely Good Friday and Blessed Easter. My heart is so filled with gratitude to Abba Father for His great love for me, that He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross bearing my sins and shame that I may be forgiven and have eternal life in Him!

This is the most outrageous and extravagant love that anyone can ever shower on you and me!

      And you did a great job with the games too! Loved the egg in spoon race and brings back so much memories. We must teach our kids more old school games.
