Church Egg Hunt

This morning we headed to church for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Camden and Claire were very excited. They ate breakfast and got dressed without any opposition this morning. Carlyle was in a pretty good mood and I was looking forward to her first hunt, even though I knew she wasn't going to gather any eggs. It was just fun for her to be a part of the whole tradition. We got to the church and went to the designated area for 3-5 year olds and waited for them to say "GO". When they said it, Claire started to freak out, crying and not wanting to go gather any eggs. Jeremy came and got her and I think they collected 2 eggs. For some reason, I think she gets very shy around so many people. And, Camden went off to find eggs, but unfortunately she just wasn't as fast as some of the other kids. She only found about 5 eggs and was very upset about it. A sweet little girl, who had apparently been one of the kids who was rather quick, felt sorry for Camden and gave her about 5 eggs out of her basket. That made Mommy and Camden smile. Then it was off to watch Carlyle "hunt" eggs. Camden and Claire wanted to help her. So, after a few pictures, Camden and Claire helped Carlyle put a few in her basket. They knew that Carlyle's eggs would eventually end up in their baskets. Those girls are pretty smart!! We had such a fun morning and are looking forward to more family fun tomorrow with grandparents and cousins!
