Every year, on Easter Sunday, our friends get together for a brunch to celebrate Easter and Spring’s arrival (finally!). Somehow in that first year, one of us had the idea to have an adult Easter Egg Hunt after the kids do theirs. It sort of morphed in ways things do and without getting too detailed, it became a “beverage hunt.” Our guests get crafty and decorate beverages ahead of time and show up ready to hunt. One of the years the weather was actually nice enough to sit outside.
For the brunch this year, we had a waffle bar and delicious savory treats that other guests put together. Josh accidentally scheduled himself to work this year, but thanks to my great friends Tiffany and Johnna, I had two fabulous co-hosts for the party. The food spread (waffle bar) was Tiffany’s brilliant idea and it was a hit!

They actually came over on Friday to help me put the space together (thanks girls!). They even assisted me in tying bows around slippers (actually they were just new socks but slippers would be better) for the front entry so people would remove shoes at the door. I made some signs and purchased some nice baskets at World Market for everything to go in…
baskets…
It is always so muddy around Easter and our house gets trashed if we don’t have people take their shoes off. So, this was my solution. I like it as a new rule for our house. It makes things feel cleaner. Josh and I have been following the new policy so far. Anyhow, more about the party and less about my shoes off signs. ha!
First, the kids searched for the eggs hidden by the easter bunny (in past years they have also decorated juice cans or sodas for the easter bunny to hide as well).
Then it was the adults turn…
…much fun was had by all…
Whoever said adults can’t have fun too?!
Thanks for such a fun time Keely, Johnna & Tiffany!
A perpetual hit, this hunt… I liked seeing the pictures to too!!
