Egg Hunt

Well, Joseph is at Priesthood session right now and I am mostly putting off all the housework that has to be done.
Today we went to San Antonio to see our nephew Tyler be baptised. It was a great experience for Emily who is so curious and excited about baptism. After the baptism we went to Joseph brother's family's house to visit Grandma Cooper who is in town for the weekend and to play with the cousins. They were awesome enough to organize a little Easter egg hunt in their house for the kids who had a blast. The problem is, I forgot the camera. So instead I will talk about the Easter egg hunt Emily and Caleb participated in last Saturday.
It was a really fun activity. We had beautiful weather and there were a few snacks and treats available for the kids to enjoy.

Here is Emily carbo-loading before the big event.

A pep talk by the neighbor.

The under-three-year-olds got a head start so Emily was able to gather a few eggs before the masses covered the field and consumed everything in their path (kind of like locusts).


Here I am telling a kid off for grabbing two eggs right as Caleb was reaching for them. One of them was literally inches away from his little hand before it was swooped away. It's hard being a baby.

We have had so much fun with the commercial aspect of Easter, I am excited to talk to the kids a little bit about the real reason for the holiday tomorrow.
I hope you all have a happy Easter!
