We spent Easter weekend at the lake house. Grammy and I took the children to an egg hunt sponsored by the local volunteer fire department. It was held in a field that was sectioned off with yellow caution tape. They hunted by age groups. Hunter needed a little coaxing at first but enjoyed it. When Hailey's bucket was full she simply stopped and returned. I think I might have tried to stash some in my shirt or even try to over fill it! The goat walking around with purple painted horns cracked me up too. Funny people.

I usually make my lamb cake every Easter. I didn't this year. Hailey made cupcakes instead and served them to us after dinner on Sunday.

COLORED BEAUTIES!

Easter isn't complete unless you color eggs in my book. Brady made a special one for me - a green clover one and Hunter got a chugga! Hailey even decorated one for me.

Easter Morning

Hailey and Hunter enjoyed looking through their baskets. Their excitement is precious. Hunter lined up his candies and Hailey eventually sorted hers too. It runs in the family!

Grammy gave them Easter surprises too. I love Hailey's face as she is looking at one of them in the picture below. She's got crazy eyes. Hunter loves his new train too!

OUTSIDE EGG HUNTING TIME!

A note was left to look for two special eggs - a gold and a silver one by the door. Once it was open, Hunter sprinted for the ball he spied. He was one happy boy. He also found the first egg. The gold one. Hailey quickly gathered eggs and only one crash occurred over an egg. Hunter at one point even handed her a pink egg.  We found them all - and even one from the year before. It was a good morning. I loved hearing the belly laughs from Hunter as he played ball with his daddy and watching Hailey play with her new mermaid.

We came inside and relaxed while they went through the eggs and goody stash. It was nice having Michael there too.

The rest of the day was spent hanging out with family, feeding ducks, touring boats and watching the kids play. It was a nice weekend.
