Easter Part 3

Now on to actual Easter day. We started out with an Easter basket hunt. This is something we did in my family when I was growing up and this is the first year we've done it with Anna. How it works is the Easter Bunny takes the baskets and hides them somewhere in the house while leaving notes to try looking in various places. Seeing as Anna can't read, we had little pictures of where to go. She loved it and was kind of disappointed when it was over and she came to the basket.

Here she is sitting on the floor with her basket. Maybe it's the short hair but this picture makes me think of my brother Aaron's girls.

Once she got her candy, she unwrapped every piece of it. Not that she ate it all at once, I guess she just wanted to see what was inside.

A standard Easter morning breakfast: candy and a token muffin.

Next came our Easter Egg hunt. Jason kind of hid them around the rocks in a part of the yard. She had no problems finding them.

After she got them all, she wasn't ready to be done. So, she grabbed her eggs and 'hid' them herself. Mostly that involved throwing them around the yard.

Here is a video of Anna hiding her own eggs.


Then it came time to find them all. Jason decided he was going to race her to the eggs. As you can see, she was mostly laughing too hard to keep up with him.

Still not ready to be done, Anna and Jason hid the eggs again in the house (at this point the mosquitoes were coming out so we didn't really want to be outside anymore). Jason decided to try actually hiding them. Once she realized she would have to put forth effort to get the eggs, she actually looked for them and found them all again.

All in all, a fun Easter. You can't say we didn't get our fill of hunting for eggs.
