Pictures from Easter Sunday

I guess I should have taken this first shot before we jokingly told Paige "that Megan gets a 5 minute head start on the egg hunt". That is the reason for her sad face. It was Mike's idea to tell her that, you would think by now the kid would know when we are joking around.Megan was a polite egg hunter, she would pass eggs by so her sister could get them and Paige would do the same. It is a wonder that they got all the eggs collected. We did find a few strays after the hunt. What is so funny is that they end up putting all of the candy in a community bowl that we all share and they just keep the coins that they get. I think Megan got a total of $2.25 and Paige got $2.20 so they were pretty close to being equal.




They did a few poses for the camera before going off to check out the loot!



Our kids are so funny they are all about tradition...egg hunt first then check out the baskets. They did not peak around in their baskets until all the eggs were emptied.

They got fancy bunnies this year instead of the usual stuffed animals. These look like dancer bunnies in their fancy costumes.



They each got a new game for their Nintendo DS lites. Megan's is Polly Pocket's Water Park Adventure and Paige's is based on the horse movie "Dreamer".


At 2:30 Mike took the kids down to the cul de sac for the annual egg hunt. Each family donates a dozen filled plastic eggs per child. There are also numbered eggs that correspond with a prize egg. Megan found a prize egg last year so we returned it with a prize in it this year. Paige and Megan did not get a prize egg this year but they each came home with more than a dozen eggs in their baskets too. I think one had 16 and the other had 18...so we are up a few eggs over what we donated. Mike had to point that out to Paige when she was feeling bummed about not getting a prize egg.

They had the kids line up from shortest to tallest (youngest to oldest) and the little ones...below first grade got a head start....so they wouldn't get mowed over.


Before Uncle Dave went home he took the girls over for a walk around the pond...this is kind of a tradition with them. It was a bit chilly out so Megan loaned Uncle Dave her hat and since Uncle Dave is a little silly he went along with it. Mike said "Oh great the neighbors are going to look out their back window's and think that is me in the crazy hat".
