Easter morning is like a mini-Christmas at our house. First, we read part of the Easter story in the Bible (parallel: Christmas story). Then the kids are surprised with baskets filled with goodies (parallel: stockings). And, finally, the kids get to hunt down and open all of their Easter eggs (parallel: presents)!
And they're off!
Hayden filled her basket first and soon declared that she didn't want any more eggs. What? Yep, her basket was so heavy that she had to call it a day.

The actually hunt didn't take long, of course, and the kids were soon in discovery mode. It was so fun to see the excitement that each new egg brought them. And it was even more fun to see them initiate passing toys and candy to each other because it was that other siblings' "color" or was something that everyone knows that child likes.
Sunday afternoon brought another egg hunt with the extended family. Gam and Grandad's grass, once again, made for the perfect setting.
Hayden collected her eggs first and opened them later.
Madison, on the other hand, did a little snacking along the way!
Madison gave her best effort to reach the purple egg tucked high up in the tree. But unfortunately her Go-Go-Gadget arm wasn't working so she had to settle with Daddy's help instead.
Finally time to dig in!

All aboard! Hayden, cousin Addison and Payson go for a spin in the golf cart with Pops and Nunie.So, we finally had that Easter egg hunt that Payson has been talking about since last October. I think it definitely lived up to his expectations!
