Photos from our Egg Hunt

As I already posted, Easter was very special yesterday because of Chloe's baptism. But I don't want to leave the other kids out, so here are some photos of the egg hunt. Thankfully, the weather was very warm and the rain held off until evening.

Obligatory group shot

And then a few pre-hunt shots for Mom

Could these two be any more precious?

Posing for you, Mom, but you might notice that my basket is empty.

Practicing for the big race...

OK, Everyone! Line up! Ready....Set...

{Oh...wait! Don't forget that everyone gets 18 eggs.
Big kids, leave some eggs for the little kids!}

OK. Ready....Set....

GO!


And they're off!






Counting the loot...

Make sure everyone has 18 eggs!

Love the wrinkled tights...

Brother/sister love.

Mom won't let us gorge ourselves on our candy. She's afraid we'll barf. So we decided to play with it.

Don't judge her.

She's had some bad experiences in the past with kids barfing after eating too much chocolate!

They grouped all of their candy by color and then made designs with it.

Jake was a bit clueless about making designs. Notice him checking out his sisters' creation for ideas. He did manage to group his candy by color, though.

After watching them handle it for an hour, I realized that there would be little need to warn them not to 'steal' candy from anyone else.

Um....sweaty little hands. Candy coating wearing thin, losing it's gloss and getting dull...

Yeah.

You get the picture.

Rather unappetizing to say the least.

But very pretty creations!


I heart them! God is good.
