Easter was amazing this year!! Avery Reese was old enough to hunt for eggs and get goodies from the Easter Bunny which was so much fun for Brad and I too. We had been practicing hunting eggs around the house for about 2 weeks. I wanted to make sure she understood the concept. She quickly picked up the "hunting", but had difficulty hunting and carrying her basket, which is about as big as she is. But hey, this was an easy fix....an adult would simple carry her basket for her, so she could concentrate on finding those glorious eggs.
So we planned to attend a public Easter egg hunt on Saturday. We went with some friends because I just knew this was going to be a great opportunity for photos with the girls in their pretty dresses. We woke up Saturday morning to soggy, muddy grass....great! We decided to tredge on and attend the event, but Avery Reese was not going to wear her pricey monogrammed Easter dress.
As soon as we registered to hunt Avery Reese fell down and scraped her knee, so now she was upset and dirty. I thought to myself, this has to get better. The actual egg hunt was a bust, Avery Reese only got 2 eggs (we believe there was some cheating). But the girls had fun running around the park and playing with one another
Easter Sunday was great! We attended a wonderful church service. Later in the afternoon we went over to Mama Judy's to eat ham with all the fixings. Avery Reese was surprised with another visit from the Easter Bunny...he gave her a set of keys with a clicker. Since the weather was so much nicer and the competition was nill, we had another egg hunt; this one was much more successful.
