There are many reasons why Easter is such a special holiday, but who can deny the fun of a good, old fashion Easter Egg Hunt?
At 25 years old, I can’t remember the last time I participated in one, and since I don’t have kids yet, I haven’t hosted one either. That said; I have to admit, I wish it wasn’t so odd for adults to have Easter Egg Hunts themselves! It seems like so much fun.
I asked my husband his memories on Easter Egg Hunts, and he told me a few fun stories. Apparently his father got really into it, and always created challenging egg hiding-places; making the hunt even more exciting. My husband also told me that they used real eggs (instead of the popular plastic eggs commonly used) and we laughed about how there was always an egg or two that was found a day or two later when the smell showed up!
Anyway, how should you create a fun Easter Egg Hunt for your precious little munchkins? Follow the steps below to host an "Egg-Citing" Egg-Huntin’ Adventure for the kids this year!
Step One: Buy plastic eggs and fill them with candy or fun, small toys. Make sure you count how many eggs you have! Fill one egg with a little note that says, "Egg Got You!"
Step Two: Hide the eggs. Make some hiding spots easy, others more challenging (especially for older kids). Be sure to write down the hiding spot for each egg in case you need to know where one is later!
Step Three: Let the Egg-Hunt Begin! Make sure to snap lots of digital photos as the kids look for eggs and the expressions on their faces as they find them! Don’t forget to take pics of the parents as they watch and cheer the kids on! And make sure someone gets a pic of you too at some point of the day!
Step Four: After all the eggs have been 
found, let the kids open each egg within their basket and begin snacking on their egg’s treats, and play with their new toys. Whoever found the egg with the "Egg Got You!" note gets the "Grand Easter Bunny Prize:" an Easter basket filled with goodies, or a big chocolate Easter Bunny treat.
Step Five: Let the kids play, and serve lunch! In addition to lunch and punch, some other fun snack/food ideas: Baby carrots, Carrot Cake, and chocolate eggs of course!
Step Six: After the Egg-Hunt, scrap the festivities and create a Holiday Digital Scrapbooking Project using the photos you took! Include pics of each child searching for eggs, and include any funny conversations or moments as you scrap. Some adorable Digital Kits to use to scrap all the fun?

Step Seven: Send a thank you note to each family who attended the Egg Hunt by making them a personalized Scrap Page with their kids’ pics and the day’s activities!
Use Easter Quick Pages to scrap the memories super-fast! It will be a wonderful memento of the holiday and the fun everyone had (not to mentions, a special, personalized thank you note that they will actually hang on to!).

In the meantime, Happy Easter and Happy Scrapping!
