More Egg Hunting!

After our church hunt we had so much fun hunting for Eggs at Aunties House. (I had to change her dress because the wheather was too chilly for the other dress she was wearing! And that silly sweater would not stay on!) After a yummy lunch of ham, potato salad, beans, fruit, and cole slaw - the hunt was on! Noelle was really into it. She went all over looking for the eggs and when she saw them she started grunting, "oh, oh, oh, oh." It pulled at my heart strings to watch these priceless moments. After she had found a few eggs we would just slip one out and hide it for her again. It did not take long for this smart little girl to figure out what we were doing with her eggs. She noticed that the pale was not filling up like it should! Then she joined in on the fun and would hide them again so she could find them!
After all the fun hiding the kids were cracking open those eggs to find the fun toys and yummy candy inside. Uncle Matthew really enjoyed helping his niece figure out how to open the eggs and get the jelly beans inside. Mommy was not happy with that at all! But Noelle sure loved it! Look at that cheek filled with that yummy sweetness! As if that all was not enough we all sang happy birthday to Evynn. She turned seven today! I did not get a picture of that, too bad. But she loved blowing out her candles and opening presents. She got a lot of cute things, and lots of money! After all the festivities were over everyone had a great time enjoying each other's company. The children loved playing with one another and counting each other's eggs. We all had a great time and by evening we were just worn out! We said good night and came home. Noelle got her bath and bed, while mommy was up late getting things for Easter dinner started. Tomorrow will be more celebration!
