On Saturday we were invited to my Family's Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt. When we got there we found out this is the last year they will be holding the Easter Egg hunt. They have been doing the egg hunt for 17 years. When I found that out I felt really old. Emilee was nervous at first, thankfully Grandma, Grandpa, and Aunt Brittany helped her out. Emilee had a lot of fun. Later that night we dyed eggs, Emilee wanted lots of pink and purple eggs.
Sunday was Easter, unfortunately Adam had to work. We woke up and got ready for church, Emilee kept asking if the Easter Bunny came. While I was getting her ready I reminded her why we celebrate Easter. She was so excited to come down stairs and see if her Easter basket was full. She had fun taking everything out of her basket one at a time for me to take pictures. The Easter Bunny even left her a present at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Later that night, Adam was able to join us and we had a wonderful Easter Dinner with my family. Russell and Amber weren't able to stay for dinner, but it was nice seeing them for a few minutes. Dinner was so good, Emilee loved the Ham and sitting with her cousins. Adam proved that he is still good with babies, he can calm down most babies. After dinner we had our Easter Egg hunt. The first few years Emilee, Matthew and Lillian were so young we had to walk them around and it took forever. This year they couldn't wait. At one point when we were finishing hiding eggs Matthew and Emilee started knocking on the door saying they needed candy. It was so much fun to watch them search the back yard for eggs. Next year we will have to hold them back a few minutes while the two babies go search. The rest of the night was spent talking and enjoying some yummy cake. I love the holidays and being able to spend time with family.
