Easter Egg-citement

I know, I know. Sorry.  I could just couldn't keep myself from typing "egg-citement".

The day AFTER Easter was kind of a continued celebration. That's what happens when you work at a church... the big holidays are crazy workdays, and you have to reschedule the family stuff.

So did our first real egg hunt at our house.  It wasn't anything super crazy, but it was a lot of fun.  Some colorful plastic eggs (of course full of little candies) all over the backyard.  But here's the deal with desert landscaping:  You have to get REALLY creative.



The kids had a ball.  After they found all the eggs and ate the contents (of course) they insisted that WE go hide and they hid all the eggs for us.  In fact, for a few days afterwards, they insisted on letting anyone who came over have an egg hunt, too.

 This moment (above) was one of my favorites.  He REALLY wanted that egg.  He could see the candy poking it's little head out.  But it was a deep hole (we just lost a tree) and he was afraid of stepping IN the hole.  The maneuvering that took place was hilarious.  The dedication to the prize was impressive.
