Tradition! Tradition! (sing with me now Fiddler) Yes, weird or not, rolling Easter eggs is a tradition in my family. (And at the White House too). Growing up we had a family plaque and each year the winner (the person who's egg went the farthest) would get their name on the plaque. There is also some very serious technique and rules associated with the roll...one must never throw, only a simple flick of the wrist is permitted.
Although our family is small, we decided to continue this tradition. With some slight adjustments...like it's okay to throw your egg up the hill (at Dad) after you roll it down. Tonight we hunted for a hill (not such an easy task in the desert)...until we found one in Green Valley on Paseo Verde that would work for a three year old. (If you have other suggestions let us know...we've done desert breeze, but were looking for a hill closer to home).
Anyway, I shot this quick video of the festivities. We decorated eggs with our LV cousins last night, but it got too late to roll.
We had a great Easter Sunday. Cole went on a hunt inside the house, went to church and had another hunt and learned about "Jesus and the rock" in nursery.
Here's some more pics for the grandparents. If any LV friends are interested in joining in our family tradition next year, just let us know...there is room on the plaque (or you can start your own).

what a great tradition - they have lots of hills up at Sonata Park in Seven Hills for next time.
looks like you had a great Easter - Cole is just too cute!
Way fun! And that video footage was funny--especially when you turned Cole on his side :).
I've never heard of that. Kinda fun!!
little story--This morning when I got up, I was talking to my kids and Halle (while playing on the floor in her own world) looked up and said "you sound like Cole's mom". Funny huh? I wonder if my morning voice sounds like you or something haha!
Okay, so I'm just figuring out the videography thing...obviously I need some practice...:)
