This year we stayed home and enjoyed a very low-key, traditional Easter. On Saturday, we attended the Egg Hunt at our church. This was Savannah's first of three egg hunts for the weekend so it was a good warm-up. Twelve hundred eggs were thrown about the lawns and each child was allowed to collect about 13 eggs. I think Savannah got her 13 within about three minutes. She wasted no time in going after them.
 |
| Ready, Set, Go!!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| she immediately started collecting |
 |
| Once she had her 13, we had to check out the treats inside them. |
 |
| She wasn't happy about the lack of chocolates. |
 |
| "Ewww, not another sour candy!?!" |
 |
| Ready to head to the next hunt. |
Just a couple of hours later, we attended the Egg Hunt at the country club. There appeared to be thousands and thousands of eggs thrown all over the driving range. The range was divided into two sections--the upper area for the babies and toddlers and the lower area for the bigger kids. Each area had one golden egg that you could exchange for a big prize. Guess who found the first golden egg......Savannah!!!! WooHoo!!! She was so thrilled to exchange it for a Rapunzel Barbie doll.
 |
| All ready....notice that she is still holding onto her Fresh Beat concert ticket and wearing her KiKi headband and bracelets (the concert was 2 days prior to this). |
 |
| She's showing Brad all her souvenirs. |
 |
| this was the best picture we could get of the two of them |

| and she's off...... |
 |
| She actually walked up to the Easter Bunny to show him all her eggs. |
 |
| But when we tried to get a picture, she ran off. |

 |
| this year we did it without breaking a single one |
 |
| say "cheese!" |
 |
| Sunday morning and the Easter Bunny brought goodies! |
 |
| "check it out, Mommy!" |
 |
| "I got Callie" (for her train collection) |

After church, we had a lovely brunch at the country club and then we went home to have our final egg hunt.
 |
| She would show off each egg as she found it. |
Such a fun Easter weekend!!! Savannah wanted to keep having egg hunts for days afterwards and she's actually still making her egg soup (you'll have to watch the Charlie Brown Easter to understand that one). Oh that girl of mine......I love how she's really beginning to get into the holidays. She definitely makes it more fun for us.
