Long-Distance Family Easter Baskets

My nieces and nephews live so far away and I usually mail them each an Easter basket. But the baskets are so expensive to mail, so I tried something new this year. I looked for flatter Easter items to fill a large envelope for each of them.

They sent me pictures with some of the things from their basket envelopes for me.

I, of course, made Easter baskets for my kids as well…

Filled with all of their favorite things!

Easter Hunt

We always have an egg hunt and Easter baskets for the kids, but this year we decided to have one for the adults too with huge prize baskets.  Everyone pitched in a few dollars to pay for the prizes and it ended up being tons of fun.  The boys enjoyed dying and hunting eggs and they loved their Easter baskets too.

My husband hid 3 dozen eggs for the adult egg hunt while I assembled the prize baskets.  We had one for the guy with the most eggs and one for the gal with the most eggs.  Some of the eggs were camo colored for more fun!

My father-in-law won the guys and my sister-in-law won the gals basket!

The kids also had a fun egg hunt as well!
