Easter Fun

There is a family in our ward that does a massive Easter Egg hunt every year. This is Katy, otherwise known as Ben's Friend. He couldn't remember her name for the first several months we were in Ohio and just called her, My Friend. Ben doesn't typically connect with adults as he has a lot to say and it is easily overwhelming to tired adults; not Katy! They has us over for dinner our second week here, and she talked to Ben through our entire meal of fabulous lasagna, including seconds. He's loved her ever since!!! (We actually knew of Katy before we moved here as her sister's family was in our ward in Dallas, and her niece was one of our favorite babysitters before she went to college.) Everything was organized so well with lots and lots of eggs allllll over the yard. Children and parents alike are listening intently to the directions, especially about those prized golden eggs!
Many parents await quick children with cameras at the ready...
They started with each different age group. Emily was in the second group, as she had turned 3 the week before. She was all over those eggs and needed no coaching!
This was the mass organized chaos that is an egg hunt for children 1-17 years of age...and their parents!
Everyone had a great time with full baskets, fresh air, and friends!!!
The Easter Bunny comes to our house on the Saturday before Easter. At least, he will from now on; this was actually the Easter Bunny's first visit to our home. (Ben was so sad last year that he didn't visit! Shame on us!!!) He hid prepackaged baskets this year that were very well loved!!!
Happy Easter! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!!!

Thank you for the sweet things you said about us. You got some great pictures, something I never get, because I am running around like a mad person.

Oh what fun! Easter egg hunts, easter bunny visits, and lots of candy! Sounds like a perfect way to spend a Saturday. How did Emmers end up with the basket filled with the most eggs?!?!?!
