Easter Egg Hunt - 2013

This was the second year that our subdivision has hosted an Easter Egg Hunt down at the park the day before Easter.  We went last year, even though Sophia wasn't even walking yet, and the girls seemed to enjoy themselves, so we opted to partake in the fun again this year.  What made it even more special was that my parents and brother and girlfriend joined us so that they could cheer the girls on.

It was very cold -- about 30 degrees.  But that didn't stop us from bundling up and making the best of it.  At least it wasn't raining!

Waiting for the hunt to begin:

And the race was on ...

Sophia completely understood the concept:

Showing off her loot:

After the egg hunt, there was a table set up with some craft projects, bubbles and cupcakes.

Sophia had her sights set on a cupcake right from the start.  There was no holding her back.

The girls tried out the hula hoops while they were there.  Of course, they begged me to do it too (and I did try), but it is a little hard to hula hoop when you have a 32-week pregnant belly in front!

And what trip down to the park/beach would be complete without spending a few minutes on the playscape?

The evidence of her cupcake was still on her face!

After we arrived back in the warmth of our home, Grammy and Papa gave the girls their Easter gifts; and what a hit they were!  Special dress-up outfits -- Ariel. the Mermaid for Samantha and Olivia the Pig for Sophia.

Absolutely adorable.
