Easter time came around, and we were booked. We were lucky enough to be able to go to Ellie's baptism the day before Easter (such a nice way to start the weekend), and after the baptism we were invited to the Gunlock Easter Egg Hunt. Thank goodness we finally have a child that can participate-- and thus, Tim can also participate. Is this why he is pushing to have lots of kids? Hmm... Just kidding.
Anyways, luckily, the 0-4 year olds got a minute headstart before the other kids were set loose. Though, looking back on it, I'm not sure Brooklyn really needed the headstart. She managed to do very well collecting eggs, though in hindsight we should probably have coached/practiced a little more. Brooklyn is more into emptying things rather than filling them up. Thankfully, Tim was there to keep her on track. Just before the rest of the kids were allowed to go after the eggs, Tim collected a stockpile of eggs around Brooklyn so she could work on picking them up and putting them in her bucket.
Despite her age, she did, as you can see, maybe TOO well. It's a good thing her dad was willing to help her take care of that load.
The next morning we were so excited foir Brooklyn to see what the Easter bunny had brought her, but again, just like on Christmas morning, Brooklyn appeared more annoyed than anything else, that we would dare to wake her up before she was ready to be woken.
We did make it through the morning, and even though Brooklyn may not have been excited about what the Easter Bunny brought, we were! Still, church was next, and we found a beautiful Easter dress for Brooklyn to wear. We decided to wait until after church to take pictures, in the hope that the weather was a little nicer... Anyways, don't let these pictures fool you-- it was freezing.
The rest of the afternoon was all about loading, unloading, loading, unloading, and loading the Easter basket. Yay for simplicity!
