Camilla and Hyrum woke at the bright, early hour of 2:00am to see if the Easter Bunny had visited yet. I woke to them whispering excitedly in the living room and shewed them back to bed until morning. Our Easter Bunny stayed up way too late last night, and was grateful to have some helpers to fill baskets and hide eggs. Everyone was pretty excited when they woke!
The morning was lazy and slow, and no body was complaining. We ate way too much chocolate and breakfasts sat half finished on the table. When it was time for lunch we all grabbed our eggs for the traditional egg champ. All morning Joe asked, "Can we smash eggs now?" It's a highlight for everyone!
It's pretty funny watching the kids coordinate their smashing, and this year I got a huge kick out of everyone's facial expressions. Some of them hit so hard that they left egg shells in their opponents eggs.
Finley had already smashed a couple of eggs the day before, but I saved one for him to champ with us. He was so tickled too!
The two finalists this year were Camilla and Mr. Stannix. I am so glad that Naomi was able to snap this picture! This captures all of the emotion and fun behind the egg champ in the Stannix home. Mr. Stannix is a pretty competitive guy, and he got beat by his seven year old this year!! Camilla has been the champ for a few years running now. She proudly placed her egg in the fridge while we turned the rest into egg salad for lunch.
