You've Been Egged by the Raulstons

You've been EGGED!

This was such a fun family activity we did to surprise some friends with a little Easter Treat.
(I found the idea here: http://livingaredeemedlife.blogspot.com/2012/04/rizo-sneak-attack-operation-youve-been.html)

First, we filled plastic Easter eggs with candy, 11 eggs per family you plan to "egg" (not chocolate if you live where it's warm, like Texas!), plus one empty egg.

Second, we hid the dozen eggs in the front yard of our friends at a time we didn't think they would be home.

Then, we posted this sign on their front door to let them know  about their surprise (find the free printable here: http://www.fabnfree.com/youve-been-egged-a-free-printable/):

We ended up "egging" 3 different families. All of the moms told me later about how much fun their kids had hunting the eggs.

I think Easter is the most important holiday we celebrate, but sadly we don't give it as much attention as it deserves. I'm always looking for fun new ways to make a big deal out of Easter that focus on the celebration of Christ's resurrection.

"Egging" our friends will be a new annual tradition for us. What ideas do you have that I can add to my Pinterest board:
Easter's on it's Way??
