Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt

Our neighborhood had their annual easter egg hunt this Saturday, and it's always a nice event for the kids.  Our friends Greg and Rebeca and their boys IV and Max came out to meet us too, so Ella was in heaven.  She looooves IV, and as you can see, he loves her too...he held her hand while they walked to the spacewalk and events.  Soooo stinkin cute...

 Amelia enjoyed her first egg hunt....she wasn't all that into it, but she gathered up some eggs.  The prizes were pretty lacking (seriously, bubble gum for 2 yr old and under?), but all in all she had a good time.

 Ella has some learning to do too.  She was a tad confused.   When they gave her the ok to start hunting, she would pick up an egg, open it, look to see what was inside and THEN move on to the next egg.  We tried to explain to her to object of collecting as many as she could FIRST, then checking out her loot, but she has her own little way of doing things....

 There was a hula hoop contest, and Ella was hellbent on particpating (even though we don't own a hula hoop, nor has she ever seen one..)  She actually did pretty well though for a 2 yr old.

 Amelia was obsessed with the Easter bunny...every time we couldn't find her, she'd be following him around.  He didn't need to talk to her....she just wanted to be next to him.  It was the funniest thing.  So much for being scared of characters in disguise....that is one thing my children are NOT! 

 It was a great day...the girls had a blast, and it was such a nice thing for our neighborhood to provide.
