Easter Egg Hunt

Our next big event was EASTER! The Saturday before Easter, we went to the Easter Egg Hunt at our church. We have gone to this one ever since Jay was tiny...he actually wasn't even walking the first year that we went! This year was so much fun because Sarah, Todd, and their kiddos joined us...as well as all of the other Aunts, Uncles, and Grandparents. Our kids had quite the support system, cheering section, and fellow egg-hunters.

My three little egg-hunters all geared up and ready to go!!

Jay explaining how it works to Logan and maybe even giving him a few pointers.....

Sarah helping Andrew....sooo cute!!

Grammy and Mimi making sure that their grandkids did not miss out on the 'goods'...they were making me laugh so hard this day. Both of them were making sure that their grandbabies were walking away with full baskets!!! I love them both so much!!

Sarah with her kiddos and all their 'loot'!!

Sweet, sweet boys! Neither one of mine understood the 'process' of collecting the eggs and putting them into their baskets. They just wanted to pop those eggs open and eat as they went. I have to admit...I was always the same way!! ;)

This was Noah's first Easter and first Easter Egg Hunt!!!
And I know I'm biased, but I think he was the cutest 'spring chick' there!!

Uncle Todd, Aunt Sarah, and Aunt Emmie displaying their treasures...I'm sensing a little bit of sarcasm from Todd in this picture!!

Jay and the Easter Bunny....Jay was the only one out of the entire crew that would have anything to do with the Easter Bunny...and that was ONLY if I was holding him!
Mimi, Pop, Grammie & Grandad...I say it all the time, but we are blessed (and spoiled!) beyond words to have both sets of grandparents in the same town with us!

'The Sisters' and all of our significant others....this is a special picture because this was the first time that we have a 'completed' picture with all 4 of us having a 'significant other'....more on that to come later!! ;)

Logan happy to get home and bust into those eggs!!!

And since this blog is all about documenting fun (and funny!) memories of my children...I have to include this story on here. Thankfully, I DO NOT have a picture of this one for all to see. As always, names have been withheld to protect the GUILTY!!
At one point in the Egg Hunt, I was on the playground visiting with a friend and Rachel rushed over to me and said, "Christina, Christina, go get your child!!" She sounded somewhat panicked so I turned thinking that he had fallen or had somehow hurt himself. I looked over in his direction and my husband's child had his shorts and his underwear at his ankles and was unashamedly going to the bathroom as the other kids around him shrieked and were faced with the dilemma of whether to grab the eggs from within his range or just take off running before they got sprayed! It was truly one of the most humiliating and embarrassing moments in my parenting history to date. We looked like those 'crazies' that have not communicated to our children where and when it is appropriate to go to the bathroom. Oh well, I guess you live and you learn and Trey had a l-o-n-g talk with him that night about how Easter Egg Hunts are not exactly the most appropriate place to relieve yourself!! Oh my....the things the Lord uses to keep us humble!! ;)
