Now that the boys have gotten older and know that there is no Easter Bunny, I tried to come up with a way to make the day fun. The result was a treasure hunt. This is the way that it worked: Todd and I came up with clues that led each of them from one location in our house to another with their Easter present awaiting them at the last stop. We came up with the clues the night before; I did Evan's and Todd did Chad's. Of course mine had to rhyme and make Evan use his imagination. Todd thought that was way too much effort and made his a little more straightforward.
The boys were both up early and ready to go on their hunt. It went pretty well. There were a couple of clues that we had to help them out on, but they pretty much found all of the clues on their own and had a fun time searching the house. Evan ended up with a new Pokemon game, Soul Silver and Chad got a cap that he had been wanting.
After church we went to Monique and Andre's for a family lunch. We had bar-b-que with all the trimmings and some traditional Lebanese food that we only get on holidays. It was sooooo good. Luckily, we got some leftovers and will be enjoying those for a couple of days.

"Boy, these packages are really hard to open!"
