An egg hunt with the neighbors. Robert, Jaylene and I stuffed 109 eggs for these little guys to hunt. It was a blast and Mara found the Golden Egg. It had $5 in it. Lucky girl!
The girls and I decided to try some new techniques this year with our eggs. Instead of dying them we blew out the centers and decided to hand paint them. Apparently that is what the Easter Bunny does so... why not?? right?? Their creations were awesome, slightly messy but tons of fun!!!
My aunt, uncle and cousins were visitng from New York so we had a family reunion of sorts. More like and excuse to see everyone, eat really yummy food and take pics.
Another successful auction under my belt. This time it was for First Pres. Our theme was New York New York: Honoring our heroes of 9/11 and our community. It was fun and a total success! I had local heroes come in and help us display items, carry desserts and up the excitement! The reviews have been awesome and although a ton of work this is the stuff that makes me happy. Someday this will be my full time job. Volunteering my time so that it can benefit others!
Now.. Time for Festival of Trees 2011. I was asked to return as the Gala chair once again. I am honored and thrilled to begin "The Spirit of Giving" for next year.
This year for the big parade we were blessed with sunshine, which made for some Happy Kids! A big group of us took up the corner of 19th and Pacific to watch all the entertainment pass us by. After the parade the girls were able to go over to the YMCA fun area for face painting, dancing, jumping and photos. It was such a great day full of fun!
