My neighborhood has a big Easter Festival every year at our neighborhood park. This year, I was in charge of planning, organizing and pulling off the whole event. I have been worrying and stressing about this for months, but finally, it is over and I can relax.
Me and the Easter Bunny (aka an 11 year old boy I bribed with 20 bucks)
Our event included...
Bounce houses:
Several Egg Hunts:
Addyson wondering what the grass on her hand is all about.
She loved putting eggs into her basket.
Prize bags (200 of them!):
Crafts and Games:
We also had face painting and refreshments. The best part of this event was the fact that about 250 people attended and all of the kids had a great time. The worst part was the fact that I had to yell into a bullhorn to announce the egg hunts. (Embarassing!) Luckily, it didn't rain on us and I had several willing helpers who helped lighten my load.
My mom was also here visiting this weekend. We dyed eggs and had another little egg hunt just for Addyson in the front yard.
We tried to get a family picture (Addyson and I both had new dresses) but guess who wouldn't cooperate?
We had a delicious Easter dinner of ham, cheese potatoes, fresh baked bread, green beans and strawberry shortcake. The weather was gorgeous and we spent most of the day hanging out in the backyard!
Grandma and Addyson got lots of quality time together.
The total cost of the Easter event (courtesy of the HOA): $800.
The price of Addyson's new Easter dress: $8 on clearance. Hooray!
The fact that the Easter Festival is over: priceless.
