Easter Egg Hunt (4/4)

Our church hosts and Easter Egg Hunt every year, but we are usually in Minnesota. Amelia's arrival so close to Easter made the trip impossible this year, but we finally got to be a part of the Easter celebration here!

The kids and the Easter Bunny. Our friend from church was the bunny, but William wanted NOTHING to do with her. Luckily Amelia was a little more laid back. I wasn't really planning on being in the pictures...but I guess sometimes that is how it goes!
Still unsure, tears are gone...

Warming up....showing the Easter Bunny his butterfly craft
Amelia's first Easter Egg Hunt
Also William's first Easter Egg Hunt (William in green/black jacket). We've never done the eggs with him before because he was so little (read:and we are lazy)
Putting his eggs into his bag with Daddy. Luckily Daddy was there to do the running around with William! William wasn't really sure what to do at first so we were a little slow getting started. All the big, excited kids were pretty overwhelming. Once they were out of the way, he relaxed and had a great time!
We were also lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa there to help with Amelia so I could do a little slow walking after the boys (and Nicole, yes these are jeans. MATERNITY jeans with the stretchy panel on the front)
Amelia found an egg!
Every time he found an egg, William would immediately try to open it. John had to be paying attention and get there quick to catch the loot inside otherwise it ended up in the grass. We couldn't convince him to leave the eggs shut...it was just too tempting!


Running around looking for eggs!
Opening up another egg...the funny thing is he doesn't even really know what candy is (besides M&M's), so it wasn't because he was excited to get the candy.
Look! An egg up in the tree! Thanks for the boost Daddy!

They also had a few crafts for Grandma and Grandpa to make...
(they honestly were trying to help William complete 1 craft, but his attention span isn't very long...) Nice job Grandma and Grandpa!





Daddy and William working on the "Guess the Flavor of the Jellybean" game - and Grandpa won! Go Grandpa!
