Madd Max Celebrates Easter

It is a Kender tradition to have a scavenger hunt, beginning with the first clue attached to the Easter basket. With Uncle Wills at college and therefore no hunt in Leonia, Dzedo began the tradition for Maddie in picture form (first clue, the potty).
First, both kids got to dig into their baskets. Favorite for Max - the Easter grass. Favorite for Maddie - chocolate eggs; she took each one, unwrapped it, took a bite, and moved onto the next.
Then it was scavenger time which became very confusing. With the first clue being the potty, Maddie thought each additional place was supposed to be sat on like a potty, which can be hard when it's a bookcase.
The final clue lead to the penguin humidifier in her room, and a Big Bird and Ernie figurine set.
Then it was over to ELF's for her Easter Egg Hunt - this time the egg to kid ratio was much better.Even the teeny kids had eggs on a blanket, filled with puffs for munching.
Somehow, our girl still found a way to have issue with it.
Things got better, decorating eggs with Dzedo.
Elizabeth also had her grandfather in tow, who shared Dzedo's interest in the spinning, shiny things along the back wall.
And finally, the source of Maddie's pain was revealed when she demonstrated that eggs are meant to be carried under your shirt, not in a basket.

Sigh of relief. I almost though the paparazzi were shut out of the egg hunt. Whew!
