Easter and the Chop-Drop

On the day before Easter we went to a local event: The Chop-Drop. It was sponsored by a local church to raise donations for Operation Hometown Gratitude. It was free and a whole lotta fun! Too bad it was stinkin cold and my camera batteries were on the fritz we we couldn't get a whole lot of pictures.

 This is the chopper that came by the field and actually dropped a couple hundred eggs! The rest of the (empty) eggs were dispersed by volunteers. It didn't matter how many eggs you got, everyone got to come away with a bag of candy. But Sarah got right in there and picked up some eggs! I thought the thousands of people and greedy kids would shy her away.. but she joined in! She LOOOOVED finding Easter eggs!

 Waiting for the chopper and the hunt to begin. The nice thing was that they divided the hunts by ages so the little kids weren't trampled by the older ones.

After the hunt!

Easter morning! The kids were overjoyed that the Easter bunny came and brough them a basket! (Thanks Grandma Tucker!) Wasn't long before Scott realized there's candy in them eggs! Next year the bunny will come AFTER church...

Bunny also brought new balls because the old one got popped..

The best picture in our Easter clothes! Love my little man in his tie! He's so grown up now!

With our sweet neighbor-adopted-Grandma Jan!

 This is Scott. He's a boy through and through!

It just wouldn't be complete without a dig in the garden. The bunny would be proud.

We're so grateful for the reason for Easter and for our Savior, Jesus Christ. He is risen!
