School Easter Egg Hunt

This past Thursday, Addie's preschool had an Easter Egg Hunt and party. Addie and I talked about it all week, as I tried to tell her and show her what she was going to be doing. (She doesn't remember her egg hunt last year!) I made her a little egg shirt and made some yummies for the party. My parents were even able to take the morning off and come since Justin couldn't get away from his surgery rotation at the hospital.

The morning of the hunt, we took her little class to meet the Easter Bunny; needless to say, she was not very interested and quite timid. I looked at her and thought how much she was like me when I was little. I too was afraid of anyone in a costume. However, she did admire him from afar and would jabber on and on about her bunnies at home.

When it came time for the hunt, Addie picked up her little basket and was ready to find some eggs. My dad and I would spot an egg, call out the color, and Addie would be quick behind to scoop it up and put it in her basket. I was so proud of her! She found a dozen or more eggs! You go Addie!

We journey back to their little classroom for a special snack and left with full tummies and baskets.

Believe it or not, there is an egg under there!

She was willing to go the distance!

About to lose some of those eggs! She actually did dump a few out, but was quick to recover them!
