Wicky Bash 2009

My cute sister Wendy started a tradition of a yearly Easter party called "The Wicky Bash". We call it the Wicky Bash, because some of the grandkids call her Aunt Wicky. She hosts and plans it every year. Let me tell you, she goes all out. She spends all her own money, and when I say spends, I mean she spares no expense. She goes crazy! It is incredible what she does, and this is the 9th year she has done it. My kids look forward to it every year!! Thanks for all you do Aunt Wendy, we love it!

The first requirement for participating in the Wicky Bash is everyone has to wear Bunny Ears (or a flower headband)!

Anyway, we have a big dinner together, and then the festivities begin!!! It all starts with the highly anticipated Easter Egg Hunt. The youngest always gets a bit of a head start.

Here is everyone going through their baskets, checking out their goods! In some of the eggs Aunt Wendy puts numbers, then everyone gets a prize. You get to choose what prize you want. Who ever has #1 gets to choose first, and so on.

Here is Dawson going up to choose his prize. He chose a package of puddings. I have never seen a kid so excited over pudding!

(Very proud of his pudding!)

Next is the Bunny Hop! Wendy plays the bunny hop music, and who ever is judged the "Best Bunny Hopper" gets a prize. Then on to the coloring contest. Wendy sends out pictures to be colored in advance of the Wicky Bash. Each kid then brings their art work to be judged. There is a prize for the best coloring. Jada won this contest. She won a beany baby. Believe you me there are many prizes given away. Next there is a Bunny jumping contest.

The last contest is who can hit the baseball the farthest. Don't be fooled...this is not a normal baseball bat. Aunt Wendy buys a carrot bat and ball. Daxton won this contest. He won a very big chocolate bunny. He was happy, he says he has never won anything at the Wicky Bash. He just does not remember. He won the coloring contest one year.

Here are some pictures of the adults hanging out. It is always nice to get together and visit.

Last but not least was a visit from the Easter Bunny!! Yes, the Easter Bunny comes every year to the Wicky Bash. Wendy hand made this whole costume. She is amazing, very creative. Her husband Ken is the Bunny every year. :) Thanks for being such a good sport Ken!

The Wicky Bash is always great fun. Wendy almost didn't do it this year because alot of the grandkids are getting old. We are very glad she decided to do it at the last minute! We are so grateful to Wendy & Ken for all the fun memories they provide for our family. Thanks guys!
