Easter Saturday--the egg hunt!

Saturday morning was chilly--one of these Easters it is going to be nice and warm--so we threw on jackets and headed into Morganville to Great Grandma's house for the the town Easter Egg Hunt. Caden was very excited--Brynn was taking it all in. Mommy bribed her with candy to wear her cute new tutu from Aunt Nell and Uncle Jake and she was NOT happy about it--"off mommy--it itches!" Once she started hunting eggs though--she forgot about it--for a little while anyways! That girl can give some looks--when she is happy, she is happy, but when she is not--you know it!

Mommy and pouty girl!

The kids--both a little grumpy--they are ready to GO! Please notice the awesome tutu!

Daddy, Brynn, and Caden right before the hunt began!

The people...

Jake's mom Rachel helping Brynn look inside her egg!

Conner and his dad--the kids were told they could only get 6 eggs--try explaining that to a 4 year old--we might have let them get a few more!

Jess and Greyson egg hunting!

Don't look mom--I am eating this candy--even with the wrapper on!

Wow--Caden found a pink note in his egg--that means a big prize--a paint book and paints!
Way to go Caden--Caden, Rachel, and Aunt Nell walked the big field for almost an hour after the hunt trying to find leftover eggs--I was very surprised at his determination to keep hunting--I think they found 2 more!

Our two blessings!

Four cousins and friends!

After Easter lunch, a group of family members played some tee ball. Caden is playing tee ball this summer and has really been excited. He is also starting to catch the ball in his glove! We asked Uncle Curt if he would play ball with him on Easter weekend and he did--I think he loved it as much as Caden--thanks also to Jess and Clarice for joining in the fun--we all know that kids listen better to someone other than their parents when you are trying to teach them new skills! We had our first tee ball practice this week and Caden did well--he was telling everyone about it and asking his friends at daycare to come watch him--I told him this was just practice--maybe they could come to a game--but his excitement made me smile!

One final picture--my friend Juliana gave me this dress that her daughter had worn--Brynn wore it on Good Friday--showing great style with skinned up knees and her pink cowgirl boots, but a great big smile!
