Easter egg hunt

Saturday, Noah got to participate in his very first Easter egg hunt! Last year was actually his first Easter but the egg hunt was cancelled because of rain. Even if it wouldn’t have rained last year, he was only like two months old so he wouldn’t have had much fun anyway. But this year, it was ON!

Noah had SO MUCH FUN! We only got to stay about 45 minutes (it was like 90 degrees with 86% humidity…Noah’s eczema didn’t like that one bit) but he ran around and played the entire time.

Before the egg hunt, we spotted the Easter bunny and decided we would torture our child try to get his picture. If you remember, Noah HATED Santa Claus. He totally freaked out, screamed and cried, and got a whole lot of attention from his freak out. Fast forward to the Easter bunny…we told the photographer, “We are going to sit Noah in the bunny’s lap. You’ve got about 2.7 seconds before he freaks out so get the picture quick!!”

So we sat Noah down…

…and he just sat there, staring at the bunny. He loved him!!

Brad and I almost fell out in shock!

After seeing the bunny, it was time for the egg hunt. We lined up with all the other kids in Noah’s age group, and strategically blocked off two eggs from all the other kids before the announcer said to go, started the egg hunt!

He picked up the first egg like a pro! (Can you tell it was hot? Look at those cheeks!)

Then he found another egg.

Then we looked up and ALL the eggs were gone!

So Daddy threw Noah’s two eggs back on the ground so he would think he found more!

Inside Noah’s eggs, we found candy and a number for a prize. His prize was…

a baton-like stick that he beats us with. What happened to age-appropriate toys people?!?!

So as you can see, Noah’s first Easter egg hunt was a HUGE hit! Luckily for him, we have another one before Easter!

Yay for the Easter bunny! Glad Noah liked him. Seriously? Drake would do the same thing with that toy. At least the sun was shining!
