Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Each year, we have an Easter egg hunt at church. This year was no exception. It was treat though this year because Brian was off work (pager day off...yes, B there are some benefits to you being on call) which meant he was able to help me juggle the girls so that I could be at church helping get things set up. We didn't have quite as many eggs this year (only 2500 or so), but we had a great time and an amazing turn out. Who would have thought we would go from having 50 people to having 200+! Wow!!! God is awesome and at work at LRFBC. It was fun to see some of my First Kids Day Out families come too. We were also joined by Karen, Robert, Kasey, Haley and James Luttrell. We so loved having them in LR with us this weekend. Britt, Anna, Alli, Blake and Tammy were there too. The girls are always a huge help with the girlies. PawPaw also joined in the fun. Mimi didn't make it this year because Micah, Kelsey, Caleb and Stephanie were getting into town at the same time. Papa Jim is buried with tax season. However, the girls went by after the hunt to share their eggs and have some Mimi-Time. You'll notice from the pictures that the girls were inside. We had to be inside this year (at least the little guys did) since it was so windy and chilly here. Here are a few pics of our afternoon...

Mollie just before her egg hunt started.

Mollie was a little timid about hunting for eggs even though they were ALL over the room. So, I took her to the corner where she quickly got over her nervousness! By the way, I don't like pictures of me when I am pregnant, so enjoy!

When Mollie opened her first egg, she squealed with delight! Brian said it was hysterical. You see, she found Hershey Kisses also affectionately referred to as No-No's at our house. They are her favorite!!

Ellie showing off her loot. By the way, she picked out the boots. However, she is a hoot when she's allowed to pick out her own wardrobe.
