Easter Eggstravaganza

This weekend was full of Easter activities!  We started the weekend with a Pancake/Easter Bunny/Egg Hunt at church.  When the Easter Bunny walked into the social hall at church Lily thought her wildest dreams had come true!  She was laughing and clapping and squirming to get out of the high chair.  We were so excited for her excitement.  We just knew these were going to be awesome pictures of Lily and the Easter Bunny.  Wrong-O!  While she totally thought he was super fun to look at actually touching him was too much! 

NO! Get me outta here

As soon as she was out of his arms and into Daddy's arms everything was a-okay.  After our run in with the big scary bunny it was time for the Easter Egg hunt.  Thankfully they had two hunts, one for big kids, and one for toddlers.  Lily's hunt went just as expected.

I'm just gonna sit here.  Don't mind me.

In my mouth.  That's where the eggs go, of course.

Inspecting my haul.

Yay!  I won first prize! (but we gave the 1st prize to one of the bigger kids, and took a little stuffed bunny instead)

                                                                                                                                    

Mixing the dye.

After the activities at church it was time for us to prepare for our own little hunt at home.  Cayce and I dyed Lily's eggs.  I probably haven't dyed eggs in 15 years. Without thinking we were using Grandma's bowls, and it was a nice once I thought about it because it was with Grandma I dyed all my Easter Eggs.

Patiently waiting for the eggs to dye.

Mmm.  Vinegar.

Once Lily woke up from her nap she gave her seal of approval.  One egg in the mouth means one happy customer. 
















                                                                                                                                     

Easter Sunday!

 

Hello pretty flower.

We spent the morning at church, and afterward took some pictures outside behind in the gardens. 

Hee-ey!

Deep thoughts with Jack Handy.

Cute kids who wanted to say "hi" to Lily. 

Family picture time!

After nap time it was time for Lily to "hunt" for her eggs.  We staged the action in the front yard so Lily wouldn't have to battle the dogs for her goodies.

She really understood the concept of putting her eggs in the basket.

Obligatory shot of Daddy filming Lily hunting.

Lily laughing at the dogs because they are stuck in the house while she gets to play.

Green one in.

Orange one in.

Yay!  All In!

Now time to throw them all out!

Much Better!
