Evelyn's First Easter Egg Hunt

Nona (what Evelyn calls my mom) has recently purchased Evelyn a shiny, new bouncy ball. She will be busy for hours tossing that baby along the hardwood floor in Nona's kitchen, quivering with laughter. This comes in handy when you're trying to get homework done, or the dishes, but definitely not during an Easter egg hunt.

Upon finding her first egg, Evelyn reached out her hand with delight. She gently studied the egg before yelling, "Ball!" and forcefully throwing the egg on the cement sidewalk. Jelly beans and sweet tarts scattered everywhere while Jared and I hurled over in hysterical laughter.

After finding each of her 7 eggs she would toss them in her adorable bunny Easter egg basket, fish around inside for a few minutes, and her hand would return with a previously found egg. Because she carried this process on for several minutes she only found a small percentage of the eggs. But it didn't matter to her, or us. We had such a great time! Each time she was pointed in the direction of a new egg you would see her face proudly light up once she laid eyes on it.

It was great to spend time with her cousins and we had a wonderful feast. Not to mention how stinkin' adorable Ev looked in her Easter dress :)
