Easter Egg Hunting

     Oh what a fun day! We went to an egg hunt on Saturday.  I asked the boys to let me take pictures before we left, and this is what I got:



A temper tantrum from Miller. He did NOT want to have his picture taken!

A sweet couple of smiles from Harris. 







After lunch, it was time for the party to start! I was able to take a few pictures of the Easter bunny .  Probably could have gotten a better shot, but I was a little scared of the ole EB! Look at it! Wouldn't you be frightened too? The boys didn't seem bothered, but oh my goodness! A childhood phobia not quite gone! Anything dressed up is a little bothersome!

Miller and his buddy Drew.



This is where the fun began. Miller is ALL in the action and was quite the little egg hunter.  His older brother though had a little bit of a hard time.
 Apparantly, Harris fell running up the hill. That was the strategy I gave him-run all the way up the hill and start at the top.  By the time he recovered from his fall, he got up and just stood-and looked-and looked.  All the eggs were gone and this is what happened.....
 A meltdown at the tree when he realized he didn't get ANY eggs! We took a few from Miller's basket, but that did not help the situation.
A little pep talk from Daddy to get ourselves all back together.
 
 Meanwhile, Miller was checking out his goodies! He even hid his eggs under the grass in his basket-just in case anybody else wanted to try to get some!

    And then cam Sunday morning! Just a few treats in their baskets. Harris loved his flip flops, and Miller told us his favorite was his sunscreen!

 The Easter bunny also hid eggs for the boys.  Harris had a much more successful hunt!





After all the eggs were found, they were both all smiles! 

 We decided to go to the 8:30 service at church, and then Robb and I came home and prepared our lunch. It was so nice to be at home with our little family. It's a busy time of year, so it was nice to be able to just be! What wonderful boys I have-all 3 of them!
