Easter Egg Hunt

Every year, on the Saturday before Easter, our subdivision hosts an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids down at the park.  We always partake in the festivities, no matter how cold it is.  Last year, it was downright frigid, and we were hopeful that this year would be a bit warmer (because Easter was three weeks later on the calendar). 

No such luck.  It was 38 degrees outside when we headed down to the park.  The kids didn't seem to mind hunting for eggs in their coats and gloves though.  It only made them go a little faster!




What a difference a year makes ... Sophia knew exactly what she was doing!



At one point, she just set her bag down and then went about collecting her eggs.  I guess that the bag was really hindering her ability to get as many eggs as she could.



Sam went her own way and collected lots of eggs herself.  Some of them were even buried in the sand!



Smiles for Momma ...



Running to show Daddy and Papa their loot:

 
 
Taking time for a quick drink and snack after all of that "hunting:"
 



Soon, the water will warm up and we will spend many days down at the park and lake.  I know that the kids are so anxious ...



Jack was too little to partake in the egg hunt of course, so he stayed bundled up in his stroller.  The girls stopped to show him their goodies though.



Daddy and his boy as soon as we got back home.

Grammy and Papa came and joined us for the egg hunt and then lunch afterwards.  The kids received a lot of gifts from them and it was so fun to watch their eyes light up over every little thing ...




Showing off her "Sugar-free" Peeps!



Jack was excited about all of the tissue paper and cellophane:



A new apron for my baking assistant:



Jack received some cereal bars.  He loves them!



And this crab sunhat and bib just crack me up ...  (My mom joked that she isn't sure who has the bigger eyes -- Jack or the crab)!

Sophia is incredibly excited about our strawberry plant coming back to life this Spring.  As of the 3rd week in May, it has already starting...
