Easter

The Easter Bunny did visit our house, but Sunday morning was quite rushed with Doug needing to be early to church for a last minute choir practice. So we didn't get to find our loot until the afternoon. Gavin had just woken up from his nap & he went right into the front room & straight for his basket.

The first thing he grabbed was the chocolate bunny while saying, "Bunny, bunny!"

And of coarse the golden caramel cadbury eggs were a hit as well. He even offered to share. :)

That evening we went to our friends the Evans for dinner & an egg hunt. They have hosted for Easter every year that we have been here. It is so fun to have our own little traditions with our friends especially when we're so far from family. Dinner was delicious! Ham, party potatoes, 3 berry salad, deviled eggs, rolls & a berry trifle for dessert. Yum! I didn't have my camera with me so I don't have any pictures. :( After dinner we all decorated our eggs for the annual Egg Bash. I don't know why this game is so fun, but it is always a hit & we have a great time.

Thankfully the weather held out for us so we could have an egg hunt outside. This was our first year doing this since most of our kids are now old enough to actually participate. I loved it! Watching the kids run around picking up eggs was great! Thankfully Crescent was nice enough to snap some pictures of Gavin for me. They all turned out so cute!

Doesn't he look so big? I can't get over it that my little boy is growing up.

But thankfully he still has his little chubby hands for me to adore!

He did quite well for being his first egg hunt.

All the kiddos & their baskets. Don't mind Doug's hands keeping Gavin in place. That kid just can't stand still.

And I just noticed that they are standing in order of age too. How funny!
