Easter Egg Hunting

On the Saturday before Easter, I loaded the kids up and we headed to town to hunt easter eggs at the Pfau's home in Lockwood.  Jessi and Corinne also came with Keenan and Evers in tow.  The Pfau's had a really nice set-up for friends and neighbors kids, and Carter was sure excited to see how many eggs she could find!  Chase, was much less excited although he did get into the spirit once he realized there was candy (or "yummy" as he calls it) in the eggs. 

Carter looked so cute with her hair in pony tails that she even let me curl.  I can't believe how fast she is growing up on me!  I love this picture of her with Keenan peeking out behind her.  It's hard to get her to pose with a nice smile some days.

It was hard to convince the kids to wait for everyone to get ready when they could already see the eggs laying out.  Evers really wanted to go get some eggs!

Chase wasn't too sure about the whole hunting eggs things.  He was much more into people watching.  Once he found an egg, he didn't really want to put it in his bucket until he saw a couple of the big kids doing that.  Mostly he was happy to open an egg, eat the candy, then maybe go find another.  It was pretty cute to watch.

Carter was much more serious about her egg hunting and managed to get her whole bucket filled up in short order.  But even better, was happy to share the eggs she gathered up with a couple kids who showed late after all the eggs had been picked up.  I was so proud of her!

The easter bunny even made an appearance.  Carter thought it was great, but Chase cried every time he even got close.

Thanks Kat for inviting us!  We had a great time, despite the weather.  It was not the best day for hunting eggs...it was cold and rained.  Later we snuck up to the Harvest Church egg hunt because we were suckers for more punishment apparently, and it rained, snowed, sleeted on us.  We were pretty glad to get back to the car!  All in all a fun way to spend the morning!  Chase managed to turn two jolly ranchers into 3 miles of sticky goo.  Later I felt Carter pulling on my shirt and looked down to see her pulling 3 jolly ranchers off my shirt that had gotten stuck on.
