Easter 2010

***Warning: Long Post***

We had a fabulously fun Easter this year! This was our first holiday in which Kylie kind of had a clue as to what was going on. She of course has not grasped the full meaning of Easter and hopefully we will have that down next year. But she did understand the Easter bunny, egg hunting and all of the surprises that come along with those things. Since I am going to try to cover the full holiday in one post, I figured I would break up the events.

Wednesday: Our 1st Easter Egg Hunt

On Wednesday of last week, Kylie's class had their class Easter party and egg hunt. This was the 1st time she really participated in an egg hunt. Lee went to the party since I am in Montgomery on Wednesdays and he said she immediately knew what to do with all of the eggs on the ground. Her teachers gave her and her classmates a cute little Easter bucket for the hunt and Lee said before he knew it her basket was full. They also had a baby sheep and lamb that came to the party. Most of the kids were scared, but Lee said Kylie went right up to the animals and gave them a hug and a kiss. She LOVES animals!

Fast Forward to Saturday: Selma Country Club Egg Hunt

After a day of resting on Good Friday and running last minute errands for the Easter Bunny, we were all ready for the BIG SCC Egg Hunt on Saturday morning. This was our 1st year to go and we had a fantastic time. There were over 2000 eggs that were hidden on the golf course needless to say all the kids had a blast!!!! Kylie's group (kids ages 3 and under) hunted on hole #18. It was perfect except for of course we were placed next to a huge sand trap so most of the kids in our group preferred that over hunting eggs. We had a little meltdown ourselves over not being able to climb down in the sand. But after a quick distraction by the Easter Bunny and finding a $5 egg we were back to the hunt. Kylie bug had such a good time and it was pretty funny to see all of us with kids ages 3 and under out there on the golf course wrangling our children. Pretty funny. After we finished picking up eggs we met the Easter Bunny! I was shocked at how much she liked him. I managed to even get a few cute photos (MUCH different than our experience with "HO HO"...aka Santa). She did fantastic with the Bunny outside but refused to sit in his lap inside, she just wanted to wave and blow kisses from the safety of our arms.
We also LOVED getting our face painted by the big girls.
Oh and don't let me forget that they had one of these outside:

Which of course after being told "no" because there were so many big kids inside resulted in this: But after a quick trip inside to say goodbye to the Easter Bunny, we were OK again.
Easter Sunday!! The Big Day!

We woke up bright and early on Sunday. Kylie woke up all smiles as she knew the Easter Bunny was coming to her house! We got up and discovered all of our goodies the Easter Bunny had brought. After playing and eating a nutritious breakfast of candy =) we got dressed for Church. The dress turned out beautiful! I was very pleased and am looking forward to having her portraits done early this summer. After Church, we headed to Demopolis to see my parents and join them for a crawfish boil. Kylie once again hunted eggs and had a great time playing at the farm. It was a fun weekend!

Waking up, ready to see if the Easter Bunny stopped by our house

He came!!!
Ready for Church!
Why so many pictures????




Saying "Cheeeessseeee"Hunting Eggs at the Farm
By this point, she really knew what she was doing. She would pick up an egg, shake it- and if there was something inside she would stop and eat it, if not she would throw it back down!
