Easter Baskets and Egg Hunting

After attending church together as a family at John Knox Presbyterian church, we returned home for a family lunch (thanks for joining us to celebrate Clay, Larissa and Nana).

Our not so traditional (but quite yummy) meal included: BBQ pork sandwiches, home-made Hawaiian bread, cole slaw, fruit salad, and potato chips.

The kids enjoyed the treats in their Easter Baskets

Lillian's enthusiasm and excitement were beyond words. (Her facial expressions say it all)

A new Grammie Doll

 A raincoat and matching pink shirts
 Yes- Max and Ruby socks

 and an Egg flashlight
 Meanwhile, off in the yard Cooper sat patiently with his eggs waiting for someone to bring him his basket and to come play with him
 With her monkey basket in hand, Lillian set out to find some Easter eggs
 Of course, she had to check the mailbox first, the flag was up
 Reaching inside
 Pulling out the egg
 And checking to make sure that what was in the egg, she liked
 Madi was a bit more subdued in her egg hunting but she has almost 10 years experience :)
 Slow and steady, finds the eggs
 Yum chocolate
 Cooper enjoyed his Easter basket goodies- especially his new police car. Cooper and Nana had a great time playing in the grass together.
 Still hunting for eggs



 Look at that mischievous grin... she's up to something
 Off to the club house to check for eggs
 Mommy joined Nana and Cooper while the girls finished their hunt
 Oh sleepy boy, Cooper was ready for his afternoon nap

The girls managed to find all 159 eggs in record time (and none were forgotten).
Looking forward to next year when 3 Sparkles will hunt for eggs...
