The 4th Annual Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday turned out to be a gorgeous day which boded very well for the Easter egg hunt we host each year with some of our dearest friends. As tradition dictates, my boys showed up late for their assigned host duties. Again, following in last year's footsteps, it took a while for Reeves to warm up to the whole idea of being social and friendly. He worked through those issues this year by "vogueing" with his Easter basket. Luckily, like all children, mine soon warmed up when they realized they would be let loose in a field full of little candy treasures. Reeves was a super egg hunter this year. Bennett quickly realized that the things inside the eggs were sugary and yummy, so he would open his each time he found one.
We put out about 2500 eggs, and after about 57 seconds the hunt was over.... and the begotiations began. I found this group already trading goodies. "I have two jelly beans. I give them to you for your one malt ball." Look out, Wall Street, these ones are growing up really fast!
Unfortunately, we had to leave early for a birthday party, but once again, I can't thank all my friends enough for all the work you do. This party was a wonderful success and I love that my family is a part of it with all of your's.
