Egg Hunts

Leah went on two official egg hunts this Easter and several other unofficial egg hunts.
The first one was put on by the local realty company and was held at a local park.  There were way more people at this hunt than I expected.

 Tim helped Leah with this egg hunt.  With all the people it was kind of hard to get eggs and I tried to run ahead, find an egg, and guard it so Leah could get it, some people were competitive.  

 Trent and Leah with their eggs, I think Leah got 3 eggs and Trent got 4.

 I decided we needed a family picture in front of our pretty tree. 

 After the official egg hunt, Trent and Leah had another (or several) egg hunts in our front yard.  It's always more fun when you're the only one or two hunting the eggs.  

 Leah's second egg hunt was at my parents' house for Easter.  

9 great-grandkids makes for a fun Easter egg hunt. (Avery is missing from this picture) 

Taking a picture of 8 kids isn't easy.

 Add in two grandmas, another grandkid and a dog and it gets even trickier.

 Leah got a pair of sunglasses in her Easter basket and decided she wanted to wear them for her egg hunt.  I'm always surprised how well she keeps them on.

I love this picture of Emily, such a sweet girl!

Friday Phone Dump

 Tim and I attended our first Blues hockey game.  It held my attention more than I thought it would.  They lost and haven't been doing too well since, hopefully we weren't a bad luck charm. 

 Look out, she'll be on the road in 16ish years. 

 Leah and I spent some time making our Easter cards and crafts. 

 "Cooking" at Grandma Debbie's for Easter. 

 Leah sure is glad we brought home a cooler of food from Easter, she's spent many, many hours playing in the cooler. 

 One of the ways I can get a good 10-15 minutes to myself, have her watch Tim mow.  Cheap thrills!

 More cooler fun!

 It looks like the birds aren't the only thing that's found our bird feeder.

Easter Pictures

Last week I took advantage of the nice weather and flower petals from the tree in our yard to take a few Easter pictures of Leah.  I think I took over 100 + pictures and only ended up with a few good ones, guess that's the great thing about digital photography.

 Getting an 18 month old to look at you/ the camera and take a picture also proved to be harder than it looks.  I tried throwing flowers, playing peek-a-boo, and having another egg hunt.  Just as we were getting ready to go inside the neighbor lady came over an asked if I'd like her help, at that point Leah was done, but I might take her up on her offer next time.

She wasn't sure what to think of the cold grass or the flower petals.  

Hope you had a Happy Easter!
