Today there was an Easter egg hunt at our Church....I was a little hesitant to let Cecilia go as I thought it would be a mad dash for candy filled eggs with big kids pushing and shoving to get as much candy as they could and push the little ones out of the way. I think it was the momma bear in me that was unsure, but I was pleasantly surprised. They had the kids separated out by ages (of course) and the eggs were not filled (of course, this is Florida) and instead they were just tossed about in the grass and landscaping for the kiddos to collect. Cecilia was one of 5 in the under 3 category and she had a ball! Mir was just a bit too little this year. Maybe next year. Although a kind senior citizen woman from the Women's Auxiliary insisted that she have a few too. So nice!
Cecilia meeting the Easter bunny for the first time. I think she was a bit scared.
Looking to mom for reassurance.
Finally, she settled with a high-five!
And snuck in a hug!
Oh look, a PINK egg! I think everything is pink these days.
And a purple one...
Cecilia in action.
Mir and Momma watching.
Ta-Da!
Cecilia putting rings on the "sticks" as she called them.
Miss Marcie even came to join us! How nice of her!
As Cecilia puts it, "we like Miss Marcie!"
Momma and Miss Marcie chatting away....
Pin the tail on the Easter Bunny.
Cecilia on the EB's lap...she just wanted the pinwheel I think.
This was the first time we tried posing Mir on a furry friend's lap for a photo.
As you can see by the face she didn't know what to think either.
Reassurance from Papa
There's a look!
They had a coloring station that Cecilia was all over.
She was so excited to use big girl crayons.
She did a great job! I was impressed.
A great time was had by all...the girls and I went home for naps....
...and Matt went to work. Boo.
We were so thankful to St. John's for hosting this fun event!
