Our First Easter Egg Hunt!

Braving the heat (why is it so hot and it's only April?) and the wind, we set out today for our very first Easter egg hunt! The girls put on their little sundresses and got their Easter baskets all ready, excited to find some eggs and candy! Caroline can't wait to get started, and practices by putting her duckie into her basket:

Claire is ready to go!

We got to the church early to help set up (basically toss thousands of eggs onto a grassy area), so the girls got a few eggs early since they were big helpers!


Claire never knew Easter egg hunting could be so much fun!




She knew to tuck that egg into her basket.



Having some snacks and hanging out with Daddy!



Caroline just takes it all in...



She kept standing alone all by herself. I don't know when she figured out how to do that, but this morning was the first time she did it!



One egg for each hand! My little Easter darling...

Showing the girls how to put the eggs in their baskets...by this time, it was getting pretty warm and they were tired from sitting out there for over an hour while we set up, so they quickly lost interest in the egg hunt and just wanted to sit down.


All the eggs were gone in under five minutes! I've never seen so many kiddos under age two move that quickly and make thousands of eggs disappear. We made off with about 5 eggs, but it was a good start for their first hunt! Happy Easter!
