easter egg hunt 2013

We continued the tradition of going up to my brother's for their annual neighborhood Easter egg hunt.  (Rebecca's sickness appeared to be a quick thing, and she's been completely fine since yesterday morning, so we went ahead and took her.) 

If you click on the links in the paragraph above, it'll take you to the previous years' posts about the easter egg hunt--I enjoyed seeing the pictures of how much the girls have changed over the years.  In the last two links, Rebecca hadn't even been born yet! 

The girls had a great time!

 

Waiting for the hunt to start with Grandma and Grandpa

Waiting for the bell to ring--almost her turn!

She had to shake each egg before she put it in her bucket....I had to keep reminding her to pick up some more, but eventually she sped up and got the hang of it.

Rachel was happy when they finally rang the bell for her turn--she was in the third group this year, age-wise, so she had to wait a little longer!

Showing Daddy her chocolate!

Cousin-love....Rebecca is enamored with her cousin, Ethan, who is 12.  He is good with her, but clearly gets annoyed with her constant ploys for his attention at times, too.  But he's a good sport and plays with her.
