It's all about the hunt!

On Good Friday, we headed over to Lisa's for a small family egg hunt and get-together. It was after naptime so the kids were well rested and the weather was perfect for an outdoor egg hunt. We dressed the kids in their Easter outfits so we could try and get pictures when we first got there. Everyone was a willing participant EXCEPT Abby. I was trying to get her to cooperate while Lisa snapped some pics so I don't have any, but I think the only one she got was one with Abby turned around backwards! Just try to make that girl do something she doesn't want to do, lol.
After trying to get pictures, we turned the kids loose in the backyard for the egg hunt. Abby and Jake were quick and focused. Ethan and Paige picked their eggs a little more carefully. Lily hung out with Grammie, taking notes for next year.

After the kids got their eggs, it was time to go thru the loot. They each picked a spot, away from the others and started going through all their eggs. The kids ate everything in those eggs! One of the big "prizes" this year were ring pops. There were eight out there and each kid got at least one. Yea! They carried those things around and licked/ate them for quite a while. Jake got blue and turned his entire face blue with that thing. Oh well, they had fun.
Lily's first swing ride!

We did order pizza for dinner, but my two were full from the egg loot and didn't eat a thing!
Around 7:30 we started gathering our stuff and headed home. The kids had a blast playing with their cousins, Aunt Lisa and of course Uncle D. We only live an hour away but I wish we were closer so we could get together more often!
Thanks for having us over guys!!
