Easter Egg Hunt

Hallelujah, Spring Break is here! And to kick it off right, we hosted an Easter Egg hunt in our backyard today. All the babies (and one big brother) from our playgroup came over. Robert's been so busy with high school tennis, league play, lessons, and life in general that he hadn't gotten around to mowing the lawn since Coby's birthday party. Normally not something I'd be real happy about, but the knee-high grass/weeds created the perfect place for an egg hunt.
At first, the babies didn't really "get" the whole Easter Egg hunt concept, but once they figured out there were goodies inside, they got pretty interested.

I can't take credit for organizing the EEH, another mom, Shellayna did all the work, but since she lives in an apartment, needed a backyard to spread the eggs out in. Just one more reason I absolutely love our house. She got fruit chews, Gerber cookies, and cheerios to put inside - basically the baby version of jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, and peeps :o)

After he figured out there was food inside (notice he's eating in EVERY picture) Coby abandoned his basket and decided to use his wagon instead...
Shellayna also brought this awesome cake to the party. Like I said, she was really the hostess, I just happened to have a backyard available.

At this point the babies were hopped up on sugar and ready to rumble. We got out the tube again and they had a blast chasing each other through it!

And then they got out the ball machine. Boy is that thing LOUD! Thanks again Uncle Andre...
Notice the plundered egg in the corner of the photo? It wasn't too much longer before we all needed naps and folks started heading home. Both Coby and I fell asleep immediately after everyone left. I actually had to wake Jacoby up at 6:00 so that he'd still sleep tonight!
