Easter Egg Hunts

The boys got to go to two Easter Egg Hunts this year (excluding the one that crashed their birthday party :). The first was at church last Wednesday night. They were only allowed to get twelve eggs each at this hunt, so I had to pare down Caleb's stash and re-hide some eggs. Ethan, for once acting like a typical 2-year-old, was very laid-back about the whole egg-collecting thing. He just sort of wandered to and fro, picking up an egg when it was lying in his path, but without any focus or drive. He was also easily distracted by sitting down and opening the eggs he had already collected.

The group picture below was taken at our second Easter Egg Hunt. It was a gathering of the two small groups that were created when our original small group divided into two back in January. It was a lot of fun to have everyone together again, and to watch all sixteen of our kids playing with each other in the Pollard's backyard. Caleb held his own in the mad rush of egg hunting; Ethan, on the other hand, must have decided that the first egg hunt was enough frenetic activity for him, because at the second one, he picked up five eggs and then sat down to eat the candy inside.

Oh yeah, as you can see from the final picture, Ethan was NOT a big fan of having his picture taken with the Easter Bunny :)
