cascarone competition

Last year my family had a little "cascarone (confetti egg) competition" to wrap up our Easter celebration with each other. The kids had SO much fun, we decided it needed to be a tradition. This year we were all ready for some serious cascarone cracking! Berkley gave us all precise instruction before the competition began.
Beckham took his stance, ready for the games to get started!Berkley stood on the other side, awaiting an attack from her brother."On your mark, get set, GO!" Berkley and Beckham began our competition.Matt & Chris quickly decided to recruit some help before they went up against each other. Beckham and Matt got their game faces on. They were ready for battle!Chris and Berkley seemed to chuckle at their opponent's faces. They were ready to have some fun!And the cascarones cracked one by one.Beckham enjoyed his vantage point from up high...But he didn't stay safe for long!
Brenner was even able to get in on the fun. It didn't take him long to figure out how to crack those eggs.
When all of the cascarones were gone, the clean-up crew stepped in to get rid of the mess.There was a lot of work to be done!
I think it is official that our "cascarone competition" will continue to be a tradition for quite a while. It is so wonderful to spend time with family, enjoying each other's company and simply soaking up all of the blessings that the Lord pours upon us all so generously.
May you all experience the joy of God's blessings today... confetti and all!
