Easter Egg Hunt

What is Easter without an easter egg hunt?  Andy was gone to a CPR recertification course and Tay was at a campout...but the rest of us followed through with the hunt and had a great time!  Rachel was my big helper...I had her set her alarm early on a Saturday morning and rather than sleeping in, she helped me fill eggs and hide them outside.   
 
Here they are before all the fun began...

Addy didn't get it at first.  She couldn't figure out why we were trying to get her to put these funny plastic eggs into her basket!  Until she opened the first one...and said in her cute little baby voice, "Canny!?!"

After that...it didn't take any encouragement from us...she was on the hunt!

We gave them a limit of 12 for the first round...Lainah lost count apparently...she ended up with over two dozen just on the first round, and more later.

Willow even got into it.  He was confused about what was so amazing about these weird plastic things lying on the ground.

He started following Addy around...I guess he figures where she is...good food will follow?  She was happy to have her buddy helping her.
 

Brooklynn got a double jellybean...which are lucky!

And here they are at the end, with full baskets!
After Addy ate all of her candy...she figured out that Brooklynn still had a ton in her basket, so she snatched Brooklynn's entire basket and went running!
 

And because Rachey and I were the ones to put the whole thing together, we thought we needed a picture too...so here we are!  What a fun morning!

Meanwhile, as we were outside egg hunting...I came in to find Mr. Bix (Bixby) snoozing away in Addy's crib.  What a stinker kitty...
