Easter Eggs!

At this age, quantity = quality, so we hit up as many Easter egg hunts as we could. At the first one, it took Mollie a minute to get warmed up, but she has become the tazmanian devil of egg hunting, finishing strong with an overflowing basket at the later events!
You would think the sole highlight of these events would be the stash of treats to bring home, but we were surprised to see Mollie light up and dash across the field to jump into the arms of the Easter Bunny. WOW, she couldn't have been more excited to meet him!
After she met him, she decided to dress up like him herself. She ran around the house saying, "Want to hug the Easter Bunny?" and "the Easter Bunny is wearing high heels!" We even found her sneaking on the bunny ears at 9pm last night after she was sound asleep.
Hunt #4 - With her favorite cousins in our backyard. Here they wait patiently for the green light.
Willing to go the distance for that one green egg

Happy with their loot!

Sorting it out with Nana
Cheese!
Hunt #3 - Lake Kiowa and their 6,000 eggs. I believe Mollie got 1/4 of them!



Hunt #2 - Her preschool class. They're sitting still because they haven't attacked the sugar in their baskets yet.

Now for the sugar...
Hunt #1 - Neighborhood Hunt. She learned very quickly what this whole thing was about... and kept going back for more bunny hugs.


Like all holidays, you don't realize how fun they can be until you celebrate with a 2 year old. This was the most exciting Easter month ever!
