Easter Eve

A bunch of our DMU friends got together for an Easter Egg Hunt this morning. We met at Wildwood Park to play and hide our eggs. It was FREEZING!! But we toughed it out.
After some playing and warming up we were finally ready for the hunt to begin!


My kids are like their Dad in that it doesn't take much to make them happy. Therefore, neither of them are competitive hunters. Elise would pick up one egg, open it up, eat the candy, then be pushed to the next egg by me :) Cole was more worried about stepping in all the "dog poo" (the field had just been aerated so there were dirt clods everywhere) than actually finding eggs. My competitive side wanted them to fill their baskets before the other kids took all the eggs, but then my mom side decided it was better not to have all the candy that comes in the eggs. Who really cares how many eggs you get as long as you enjoy the hunt!


We all ended the hunt happy and freezing. We warmed up with cuddling and lots of donuts!
It was the perfect egg hunt!

After naps we decided to go to the mall to see the Easter Bunny. The line was about an hour long, Ellie got scared just looking at the bunny, and Cole was more interested in the floating ducks nearby. So we saw the ducks up close, the bunny from a distance, and of course had to ride the train!

We had a great Easter Eve!
Now it's time for the Easter Bunny to go fill some baskets and hide some eggs ;)
