Egg hunt

The second annual first-grade-Easter-egg-hunt-in-Kati's-yard was held today and enjoyed by all, especially me! There's just something fun and life affirming about having a bunch of kids run around in your yard, even when it's overgrown and messy. (Actually, overgrown and messy is reasonably helpful for Easter egg hunts - we hid some of the eggs by simply dropping them on the ground, where they disappeared in deep patches of clover!)

Hiding eggs to get ready...



Are these cupcakes adorable or what? (They were delicious, too!)



First, the kids played a few games, including a relay race carrying eggs on spoons.



Then, we had them pose for a picture with their cute personalized Easter buckets. They were a bit impatient to get started, so this picture had to be snapped quickly!



The actual egg hunt was over in about 3 minutes flat!



We enjoyed a short visit from the daycare kids, including Connor (top left), as they came by on their walk.



And then we enjoyed the snacks!





It was a lovely way to start April.
