Easter 2012

We had Easter at home this year.  We sometimes travel to Uniontown, but since we'd just gone to Pittsburgh to celebrate Amelia's first birthday we decided to spend the holiday here.  Wyatt, you and I went to the annual Easter egg hunt over at Faith United Methodist Church.  We saw a few of your old preschool friends there.  The weather was junky, so they had the hunt indoors.  It's not so much of a hunt as a free-for-all.

The moment before they released you to collect eggs.

There were WAY too many eggs to hide, so they were scattered everywhere.  Even with tons of kids grabbing as fast as they could, everyone got a basket full!

You and your friend Aly.  I think you have a fun-size M&M package in your mouth.

Easter morning we woke up and did our own egg hunt at our house.  Bailey was eying up one of the hard-boiled eggs, but I shooed her away and the hunt began.  The only two pictures I got of you kiddos were these:

These nesting toys were in your Easter basket.  I think they are supposed to be tub toys, but you love them so much we just keep them out all the time.

Where could the rest be?

As you can see, Bailey is behind you looking a little guilty.  She disappeared for a while during the hunt.  Daddy brought her into the kitchen and she opened her mouth.  This is what came out:

Daddy found Bailey trying to hide this in a living room chair.  We cleaned the mess up and I didn't think about it at all until about a week later when I found tiny pieces of green eggshell on a blanket up in the guest bedroom.  She must have tried hiding her prize there first before Daddy caught her in the living room!

After the egg hunt we went to early church at 8am.  It was wonderful because it wasn't crowded at all.    Once we got home, we did a few chores and then cooked lamb and salmon over our fire pit.  Lily, you decided to take one really short nap so you were a little crazy.  I think Daddy and I were more tired at the end of the day than if we would have traveled to Uniontown and back!  Happy Easter!
