Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Every year, the Saturday before Easter, all the Weitzeil's (cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, etc.) go up to my Aunt Sherry's house for the annual egg hunt. I always look forward to this party because it's one of the few times I get to be with my all my cousins.

The party started at 1 pm. If you know any Weitzeil's, you know that they are ALL amazing chefs! Every time we have a family party, I always over-eat. The food is always delicious! We ate hamburgers, salads, the famous jello-jigglers and lots of desserts.

Each family is required to bring a bag of candy for the egg hunt. This year, there were over 400 easter eggs that the mothers had to fill with candy. It took them a couple of hours! While they were busy at work, everyone else was out enjoying the sunshine.

Chad and I decided to try Aunt Sherr's tandem bike from the 1950's. I have riden a tandem before, but I didn't have a good experience. Needless to say, I was actually quite nervous to get back on the bike again. After 10 minutes, Chad and I finally had it down. He sat in the front and steered, and I sat in the back and pedaled (I was horrible at steering :). It was really fun. It made us want to get one.



The hunt was a blast! We eat got 18 eggs, a charleston chew and a ziplock bag full of candy. It was definitely a good year!

Earlier that day, Chad said, "Lets go to H&M and buy you clothes." I love when he's in a shopping mood! So on our way home, we stopped at fashion place mall and shopped. I got a shirt, jeans and a couple pair of leggings. I kept telling him to go pick out some shirts, but he kept saying, "No, we are just shopping for you today." He is the BEST husband! How did i get soo lucky?!?

Easter Nails

I love painting my nails. Ask Chad, I will rip off my gels nails each week (even though they usually will last for at least 2 weeks) so I can paint them again.

I saw this idea on Pinterest and I was determined to do it. All you do is paint five dots of a nail polish on a paper plate and then mix in an increasing amount of white nail polish within each of the five dots. Now you have ombré nails! It was super easy and quite cute :)
