Happy Easter

Saturday morning before Easter the plan was to go to Southland for the Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt was odd to me. They made an announcement that all of the eggs would be empty. I have never heard of someplace doing an egg hunt for empty eggs. Either way, we figured Emmalynn is little enough that she would still enjoy it.

Well, that morning it rained and rained. So, what did we do instead of the egg hunt??

BUILD A BEAR! We decided that we would take Emmalynn for her first Build a Bear adventure. It was great. She bee lined for the lamb and wouldn't give a second look to the pink bunny that I wanted her to get. She enjoyed all each stage of creating her lamb except for the stuffing part. The machine scared her and she wouldn't let go of my shirt. Matt and I recorded a little love note for her and her first Easter. In the end we all agreed that Build a Bear was a lot more fun then the egg hunt would have been.

This way mommy...

Ok, I'm outta here!

When we got home it was time for an egg hunt with Emily. These two girls have grown to be so close. It is adorable how much the love each other. Now that we are neighbors the girls get to play together a lot. Emmalynn regularly goes to their porch looking for " E E".
Here are the besties being silly before the home egg hunt.

"Say what"

And the hunt is ON

WOW

This hunting wears me out

Yep, I need a rest

OK, now I am ready. Who needs a bucket?!

I know I can get this in my mouth

Going, going, gone....

Silly girls

"No, it's mine" So they have tiffs along with great play dates

Just some fun pictures that capture a bit of Emmalynn's excitement.

Not a great pic, but somehow this is the only one of the two of us....and as you can see Daddy got away with being behind the camera the whole time.

We enjoyed a fun lunch with friends. Matt grilled chicken and steak kabobs and everyone brought a side or dessert. After lunch it was time for an adult egg hunt. One that included a golden egg with movie tickets as the prize. Overall, it was an enjoyable day. We are blessed with our salvation and the gift that Christ gave to us, and blessed with sweet people to share Easter with.
