CA Easter Egg Hunt


Video Clip - The kids had a special early visit from the Easter Bunny when we were in California - he stopped by Aunt Trisha and Uncle Eric's house and hid plenty of eggs in the front yard.  Apparently he left a note that invited Thomas, Abby and Marilyn to hunt for the eggs and enjoy the candy he left behind.  Mommy caught the action on film for all of our enjoyment.
I must warn you though - the excitement is at an all time high with Thomas.  So much so that you would have thought he found Willa Wonka's Golden Egg & he was about to make us all millionaires.
Although Abby was happy to find some eggs, she was most concerned about the purple & pink ones specifically.  You can even hear her tell us, "more eggs" as she searches the yard for the plastic treasures.  Meanwhile, Marilyn was just trying to figure out what the chaos was all about.  She even surprised us all by standing solo with her Easter basket & new Easter duck in hand.
It warmed my heart to see both Thomas & Abby sharing and helping each other find their eggs... that is until the end when Thomas was hunting down the final egg and Abby started to sneak a few of his from his basket - the tears and whining began in full force!  Ohhhhhh... the power of Easter Eggs.
