After dyeing our eggs on Saturday morning, we got all dolled up and headed for a local egg hunt. We were probably a little over-dressed, but Ella has lots of new springy dresses that she’s been dying to wear, so we went with it. Unfortunately, it was a little dreary outside and we were glad we brought a sweater.
We started out in the gym of our elementary school, where there was face-painting while we lined up in our age group. Luckily, Ella wasn’t interested in having her face painted, but she couldn’t wait to start hunting those eggs. The preschool set got to search on the playground, so they were easily contained. Although we didn’t find the grand-prize egg {thank goodness – it was a stuffed horse the size of our dog!}, we did find a prize egg and my child selected a gallon sized ziploc bag full of candy bars. This shouldn’t surprise anyone.
We hunted eggs under my umbrella while Gran followed us around and snapped pictures. Isn’t she sweet?
Ella found lots of eggs and was proud to show me her loot.
We spent the rest of the day at Nana’s eating yummy food and hiding eggs for the daddies. Nana packed the girls pretty Easter baskets full of goodies that kept Ella busy all afternoon. Beth and I did manage to sneak off for a few hours of adult conversation, shopping and pedicures, but then it was time to pick Ella up and get ready for the Bunny. I wonder what he brought.
