On Saturday we had our first Easter Egg Hunt of 2009. We went to my step-grandmother's house because we all needed a good distraction from the previous week's events. The girls had practiced hunting eggs at their BFF's house, so they had an idea what they were supposed to do when they saw the eggs. We didn't anticipate that they would pick up eggs for an HOUR and A HALF! My grandma's backyard has a wonderful circular path around it, so we planted eggs around the path, then some of us helped them find the eggs, while others reset the eggs behind the girls. This went on for what seemed like forever. It was so cute to see their eyes light up everytime they found an egg (even if they had already found 5 eggs in the same place before). It made me wish that we could have egg hunts every weekend, because it isn't always going to be like this. Soon they will catch on to our little tricks, they will shake their heads at us, and say "You can't fool us". But until that day comes, we will continue to "hide" eggs right behind them. We have to enjoy these things while we can.
In all the pictures, Kristin is wearing pink and Camryn is wearing purple.
Camryn found this little frog and fell in love with it. She held it for a while, then carried it around in her easter basket when they started hunting eggs again. So sweet!
Kristin wanted to take this lovely fox home with her. She kept trying to pick it up, but it was too heavy. My brother, Luke, got the cutest pictures of the girls dressing up the fox - they put eggs on his ears and nose.
More egg hunting...
Opening the eggs...Thanks Nana!
