Emails between the Family re: Easter dinner and Egg Hunt and Bloodshed!

I should explain first- Rae is my sis and she usually heads up the Easter Plans. Rae and Mom live together so, when we plan family functions we always count Rae and Mom as a couple and they tend to get sensitive when referred to as a couple. We are discussing the adult Easter Egg Hunt in which a valid Health Insurance card is required!


So the players in the Email are :

Rae- My sis Age Over 40 and wayyyyyy older than me.
Amber-My niece Age 28??
JOE- Amber's Hubby
Debbie-Sister n law Age over 40
Ben- Nephew age 22
Jay- Ben's son and the only toddler
And of course any ref to Mom or MiMi would be Pickles


Rae-------
Ok, the meal at Mom's 3:30 I have ordered a spiral honey baked ham and we will have the 2nd maybe 3rd annual Adult/Children egg hunt bring your basket or bag and 2 eggs to contribute to the hunt.
Please do a reply to all so we know what everyone is bringing and who is coming.
My thoughts are ~Bread, Desserts, 2 sides and maybe a veggie/cheese tray for snacking
Tammy is sending~ for sure that a garden salad, fruit salad, and glazed mini carrots with Ben and jay on Sunday
Scrappy----
I will bring what ever yall tell me to but, more importantly WHAT R THE PRIZES?????????????????????????????????
Rae-----
Nothing major gift card, bags , cash , office supplies. I will have the rules printed out prior to the games. Do you want to bring the rolls or bread how about that bread bowl dip you make. (This is one of the three things I know how to make. )
Amber----
NO NO we do not know the prizes until we get the eggs
Scrappy-------
CASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rules???? Who needs rules????????? Yall know the drill I WIN or if by some travesty I lose yall get to hear me whine
I will bring the bread bowl dip thingy
Amber,
Please! knowing the prizes let's me know how much of yall's blood will be spilled
Rae,
Since everyone has had some health issues this year, do you want me to bring wheelchairs and walkers for yall?? LOL!!!!!! Ya know, I mean that with all the love in my heart.
Debbie-----
I think we should have the contest split up in to the older generation/handicap set – and the younger, faster generation – that seems fair
Rae-------
Ha Ha I have my own crutches Debbie make sure you bring any additional items that maybe used as "OOPS you tripped over my........"
Yes I have a few snail pace games planned but please remember this is all for the memories. Debbie don't forget your camera so we can get the film developed in the dark room. You know we love you
We will have one game that will be a lot of fun for couples or 2 people to team up as a pair. I know my partner is MOM... I have been told (Rae loves it when we call them a couple)
Amber----
You are soooo funny. Hey it's been 4 weeks I am 100% I am ready to race you sista (Amber just had surgery. She is gonna lose bad!!!) Rae,Ill give you Joe if you want and Ill take Meme really I don't mind.
Rae----
No thanks, she gives me a handicap head start and I know no one would take the 1st place from their own Mom, Grandma, Meme right.....
Debbie-----
Want to bet???????
Rae--------
OK really we have to stop my boss asked me who and why I keep laughing out loud. If this is any indication I think I should just cancel the games it is getting a little competitive. Who said Easter was for kids??
We are not elderly we are like wine better with age. I'm gonna take a swing at both of you with my cane then have Debbie run over your foot with her wheelchair
