Funny little bunny go hop hop hop

I was trying to remember what happened last year on Easter, and all I came up with was sitting in the living room of Rob's parent's house with Rob and his siblings, opening up all the Easter eggs and picking out the good flavors of Jelly Belly's. That's seriously all I remember! You must forgive me. I had a 3-month-old baby and we had just moved at the time. It's no wonder my memory of last year's festivities escape me.

But THIS year....I'm pretty sure I'll remember it. This year Sara was old enough to appreciate all the fun that comes with celebrating Easter, such as hunting for eggs, and eating the tasty treats found inside. Both of which, I'm quite certain, are two of her new favorite pastimes.

Ok. Let's cut to the chase. Picture time.

Sara attended four Easter egg hunts this year! They went in order from least to greatest. The first one we attended was a free event advertised by a local radio station and THOUSANDS of people showed up. We didn't even make it there in time for the hunt. By the time we showed up, all the eggs were gone. But Sara enjoyed picking up a half-shell of an egg I found lying around.





















The next hunt was at the neighborhood park with all the kids from church. We arrived before the hunt began, but it was over in about 2 minutes because the eggs were just scattered on the grass. Not much of a "hunt". But once again, Sara enjoyed just running around and picking up anything she could get her hands on.




We invited Rob's niece and nephew to come with us to this one and tried to snap a group shot. It took a few tries (and a little Photoshop) but we ended up with a cute one.

The third hunt was at Sara's great-grandmother's apartment building--they have a nice atrium in the middle of the building with plants and tables and all sorts of good egg hiding spots-- complete with a "magic act" which was really just a man making balloon animals. (Sara got a French Poodle.)

The last hunt was on Easter morning in our apartment. I made a trail of eggs down the hall and around the corner into the living room where Sara's Easter gifts were waiting for her. Of all the presents she received, I think she loves the dollar-store duck (and quite an ugly duckling at that) best of all! Her reaction in the video below speaks for itself. Enjoy!
