Precursor to Easter

It's always when the holidays hit that being away from family is the hardest!  With Easter being Alaina's favorite holiday, I knew that she would be feeling pretty sad about missing the annual Broadhead Easter Egg Hunt, so we decided to make our own fun!  Amanda and Ryan had their kids that weekend, and we held the hunt over at our friends, the Jones', house since they have the perfect backyard for it!

Gotta start with seasonal treats!  I'm such a little Suze Homemaker now. :P


The night before the hunt, we dyed eggs over at Ryan's house.










People are always making comments about how tranquil and subdued Harrison is when I'm wearing him in the Beco.  He's just as happy as a lark in there!


Off topic, but these days, uninterrupted adult conversations are pretty hard to come by, and Anthony and I usually jump at the chance to catch up.  We lost track of time, and when Anthony went to go finish making his cup of coffee, all of the Coffee-Mate clumped up instead of dissolving because the coffee was stone cold.  It looked so gross, and moments like that just make you laugh because THIS is parent life. :)


On the day of the hunt, everyone was dressed up in their best and ready to get some candy!




Bob and weave!






Anthony and Harrison enjoyed watching the hunt from the deck.




There's nothing cuter than a two year old hunting for eggs!


Amanda hid 6 golden eggs, one for each kid.  Connor was the first to find one!






Anthony didn't realize that there was an egg hidden on the bannister, and Harrison snatched it right up.


Golden egg, part 2!








Harrison had his first encounter with grass.  As you can see by his face, he wasn't sure if he liked it at first.


Nope!  He definitely did NOT like it. :)


He was also not a fan of taking pictures in bunny ears.  I guess he figured his Dumbo ears were costume enough (I have to make fun of his flappy ears as much as possible before he understands what I'm saying and I give him a complex)!


Wishing everyone a (mostly) Happy Easter!
