Last Sunday afternoon was the St. Jude Easter Egg Hunt. I was so excited to go, even though I had no idea what I was in store for. Mommy got me and Madeline all cute in our precious (Mommy chose that word, not me!) new Easter outfits that Grangie made for us, armed us with adorable new Easter baskets with our names on them, and loaded us in the van. All I knew was 1) I was going to hunt eggs, and 2) my buddy Aiden was going to be there!
I was really excited to see Aiden. After all, I hadn't seen him in two whole days! (Grangie made his cute shirt, too!)
We all gathered in the school gym. Some girls walked around with these big baskets full of eggs and told us to each pick one egg from the basket. First Aiden got his.
Then it was my turn. I got one for Madeline, too.
And then it was time to hunt eggs! Our age group got to look for eggs on the big wooden deck. I did great!
Aiden did really well, too!
After all the eggs were found, we went back into the gym. They asked everyone to count their eggs. Daddy helped me count all of mine - 25 eggs! Turns out, I had the most eggs out of all the kids that day across all the age groups!! So my prize was a giant yellow egg filled with jelly beans! (I'm not a big fan of the candy, but I've had fun playing with the big egg!)
Of course Mommy and Mrs. Erin insisted on a photo op! Daddy and Mr. Scotty (Aiden's daddy) stood to the sides at-the-ready in case Madeline leaned too far forward. It's pretty tough getting all three of us to simultaneously smile and look the same way.
But they attempted it a few times.
And it wasn't a whole lot easier with just me and Madeline, either.
