This morning we loaded the boys up and headed to church for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. For some reason, mommy was asked to pray over the hunt in front of the entire crowd. Not sure why, but I guess I did okay! The 0-3 age group went first so they wouldn't be trampled. Maverick found his share of eggs, and enjoyed placing them in his bag.
The big boys fell in the 4-7 age group and quickly gathered up their 10 eggs before getting the go ahead to gather more. I think they had a good time. In order to avoid potential allergic reactions, our church requests that they eggs contain candy that doesn't have nuts. Unfortunately for mommy, this means most of the candy is "junk" and their is little to no chocolate to be had. Oh well...don't need the extra calories of that kind anyway.
After all the eggs were found, we emptied out their contents into our bag and returned the plastic eggs to use another Easter.
I hadn't mentioned it yet, but our family won tickets to go to the Easter Egg Roll at the White House. Chandler was super excited about this (as was I) but because this baby is still incubating, we will have to forgo this event and hopefully win tickets again for next year. When I finally broke the news that we would not be going to the Easter Egg Roll there were a few tears shed, but luckily I was able to say that we were going to go to another hunt and get candy, so that helped significantly :)
