Egg Fight 2011!!

The Seamons love a good Egg Fight! Remember how we are SOOO Funny? Well, there were plenty of laughs as we went head to head for an Egg Fight Champion. Actually this year, I think it didn't really even matter. Did we even have a champion? I forget. It was more about just having fun and destroying some eggs. ;)

We continued our Egg Fight Fun with Matt & Haylie. The kids actually saved some of their eggs so they could share. So cute! We have tons of deviled egg materials if you need any this week! LOL

 An all out Cat Egg Fight! LOL

Also, Haylie is so crafty! She dyed these Dino Eggs and brought some to share with the kids. Next year, we'll have to do some Egg Fights before we dye them! They turned out really neat! Thanks lady!

Hope you had an

EGG-cellent

Easter Partay of your own!

Decorating Easter Eggs

How come the fun things that we love are SOOOO MESSY? LOL.
We had a lots of fun decorating our Easter eggs this year. We had tons crack this year while we were cooking them. Wimpy eggs! But we still got to do at least 5 a piece. If you do the math and add the cracked ones left in the pot, that is a LOT of eggs! Thank goodness we like boiled eggs and deviled eggs and egg salad sandwiches and..... what else can you make with these stinkin' things? LOL
As usual during our decorating party, many crackles were heard as eggs slipped off the holders or were dropped too hard into the colors. AND we had a very, very colorful table before we finished. Thank goodness for butcher paper! Unfortunately this time, we had a fatality. One of Justice's favorites rolled off the table and cracked pretty bad. He had worked really hard on it and was so sad. Well, his thoughtful sister B disappeared for a bit and came back with a orange plastic egg that looked just like the one he had just lost (plus a few 3-D touches added). She's a very sweet sister!

For the Seamons fam though, it's not just about making them look pretty. It's more like prepping for the Demo Derby where you decorate for the attack. (See Post about Egg Fight 2011) There were eggs like the Purple People Eater, the Space Star, the Decorator, the Poke Ball, Captain America, SuperEgg, and Smiley. We're soooo funny! But seriously, egg decorating is serious business around here, people!

Easter Traditions

We usually start our Easter morning with a Seamons fam tradition of Dad's Egg Hunt. Unlike Mom's Grandma Hunt on Saturday- Dad's hunt is all about the CANDY!!! The kids find tons of candy-filled eggs hidden all over the front room. They usually have to resort to a game of Hot & Cold to find the last ones. Some hiding places get pretty tricky. Brett also hides mini Twix bars all over (usually in high places) the room for Shay! Thanks Love. You sure make our life fun and yummy (and sometimes sick LOL! ----from the too much candy, that is)!!

Then, there is always the annual Easter Egg Coloring.  Lots of eggs, lots of colors, lots of ideas, lots of crayons, lots of mess and lots of fun!!! We have quite the creative egg decorating family. Way to go everyone! 

...And what good are all those eggs if not for a Eggstordinary Egg Fight!!!? 3,2,1... SMASH!!!! Another Seamons family tradition. Grandpa Seamons would be proud!!! This years fights got a little ficious- a little more like breaking the wood boards in Karate.The force that they hit each others egg really should have been illegal. LOL! But everyone had a lot of fun! There was some pretty demolished eggs to donate to the potato salad and deviled egg pile. Which were delicious, by the way.

Food, family, relaxing, Spring weather, fam traditions, fun, remembering the Savior--- what's better than that?

What a Egg-cellent Easter!
