neighborhood egg hunt....

I was really looking forward to the egg hunt this year because Charlie is at just the right age for the whole thing. We had to stuff about 400 eggs prior to the event and we told Charlie that only the special kids were asked to help the Easter Bunny do special jobs like stuffing the eggs. He ate it up and felt so priveleged to help. Eric was asked to be the Easter Bunny again this year. Charlie had made a few comments about daddy dressing up in the bunny outfit in the days prior so we figured he knew it was going to be daddy. He spotted the Bunny right in the middle of the hunt. He immediately stopped looking for eggs and ran toward the Easter Bunny as fast as he could. I was trying to get him to concentrate on the eggs because they were dissappearing quickly (thanks to the older kids that don't know how to follow the rules!) and I didn't want him to be dissapointed he didn't get many. It was too late, he already had his sights on the bunny.

Yes, I will admit this photo is totally staged. The hunt was over in about 20 seconds, I didn't even have a chance to get my camera out before it was over.

Cute cousins.
Cannon was not happy at all that the wind was blowing like crazy and he was cold. We had him wrapped up good and got a quick shot with the bunny and then gigi took him home to warm up. He obviously didn't know that he was supposed to be terrified of the bunny. I imagine that will happen next year! :)

He never said anything about it being daddy, so I think we may have had him fooled? Despite the cold, he had a great time petting the rabbits, blowing bubbles, eating snacks and candy and constantly reminding me that he was not going to be going into the bounce house.
