It's a Party in the Bathtub!

My wife has made the Easter Egg hunt a family tradition at our house. She has come up with clever ideas, and today was no exception. This morning FK, our six year old, was up very early expecting something to happen, but there was nothing downstairs. Hmmm...

After a breakfast of hot cross buns and yogurt (and coffee for Papa), the kids went upstairs to get dressed and EK went outside to set the stage for the egg hunt. The kids then went outside, and using baskets sent to them by Oma, found and collected eggs placed around the house.

The collected eggs were counted to be sure all were there...

...then brought inside. The kids discovered that upon opening the eggs (with difficulty by some), puzzles pieces were to be found inside. What did this mean?

The backs of the pieces were two colours - pink or blue. The pieces were sorted into two piles, then put together and glued on paper.

They formed maps! Perhaps to a treasure?

The kids discovered the treasure, or Easter baskets of loot, in the bathtub. Jo promptly exclaimed "It's a party in the bathtub!"

They carried the party, er, baskets downstairs and took out the contents of books, toys, and candy (there has to be candy for Easter!).

I wonder what my wife will do next year? Hmmm...
