Annual Family Easter Egg Hunt!

Ever since I can remember my family had an Easter Egg hunt the Saturday before Easter, rain or shine. We had it Saturday so that Sunday we could focus on the true spirit of Easter. My aunt, uncle and cousins would come and we would have it in the back yard. The best tradition was having to count all the eggs to make sure we got them all. I just remember a lot of chaos at the time and hating having to wait to open up the eggs. Since we have our own family, we have kept this tradition. (Counting the eggs and making the kids wait, also.) We haven't lived around family for the past few years so we have done it on our own with our little family. But not this year. We got to have our Easter egg hunt with Aunt, uncle and cousins. It was so fun. The kids had a great time.

Here's Will. He was DETERMINED to find the Golden Egg. We aren't sure why but I was glad we had a gold colored egg for him to find. The funny thing was that as soon as he found this green egg he yelled, "I've found the Golden Egg." I guess a gold egg can be green. Isn't he darling?

It was so windy that day but McKenna loved it. Nice Action shot. Notice the "true blonde" missing the egg right above her head. She sure is cute though.

Here is my sweet niece, Ivy (aka McKenna's best pal.) I tried to get her smiling but her Aunt isn't a very good photographer and this is all I had. I just wanted to make sure and document that she was there. Here is Maya, again not a great action shot. I have lots to learn.
Here is McKenna HATING the grass. She's doing all she can to not touch it.

Here's a BETTER action shot. These kids were moving fast also. They weren't going to miss ANY eggs.
Here is cute Hyde! Does he have the sweetest face or what?Here they all are with their loot.
It was such a fun day but way too short.
