Easter Egg Hunt

We were lucky enough to be invited by "Nona" and "Papa" (my in-laws) to a fun Easter egg hunt and pancake breakfast this past Saturday. It was held at a park close to their house and is annual tradition in their ward (maybe someday our area's growth will slow down enough for some of these fun traditions to develop).

We had a random rainy day in Arizona that morning and bundled the kids up before we left. It was so much fun to eat yummy pancakes, eggs, and sausage huddled together to stay warm. Then it was off to the field for the egg hunt. Maddie told me she was "freezing" but that didn't stop her from running around collecting as many eggs as her basket could hold. Robby, on the other hand, didn't quite get what was going on. When they yelled GO, he just stood there looking around. It took some encouragement before he was off finding eggs as well. We came away with a lot of loot at the end and the kids happily ate candy the entire way home :) They also had an Easter bunny there to take pictures with.....Maddie didn't want anything to do with that. She hid in my shoulder during the attempt at a photo-op. Eli gladly entertained my mother-in-law and several of her friends during the outing with big toothless smiles (my fave)!

Robby a little confused about what he's supposed to be doing :)



Maddie freezing cold, but quite pleased at her treasures!
