Easter Egg Hunts

We hit up two neighborhood Easter egg hunts. One the weekend before in our immediate neighborhood of Graceland West and the other at the large Chicago Park District park near by. Oh yeah, and Juliet is walking. She started just in time to hunt for eggs.

Oh sweet baby girl had NO idea what was going on. But she loves carrying around bags so she happily roamed around with her bunny bag. The uneven surface was a bit advanced for her new walking skills so she occasionally fell, rolled down the grass, got herself right back up and then kept going.

Too cute!

Amelia on the other hand knew exactly what was going in. There was a park full of candy which she needed!

This was the second egg hunt at the large park. It was total mayhem! Juliet peacefully fell asleep in the carrier on Mark so into the ring Amelia and I went. The Chicago Park District just throws a bunch of empty plastic eggs into the park and the kids run for them. There were probably two eggs for every kid it was so packed. You then took your eggs into the park district gym to get a goody bag. Amelia was more interested in playing on the park equipment than getting eggs.

Have no fear. There was plenty of candy in the goody bag AND she got to have her face painted like a bunny.

Juliet woke up just as the festivities were ending but it was too nice of a morning to go home so we let the girls run around the soccer fields next to the park. Ever since an art project in daycare where they took photographs Amelia has been especially into taking pictures. Here is one she took all by herself!

 All weekend I had tried to get Amelia to cooperate so I could send JuJu and Poppy a picture of her in the new dress they sent her in their Easter care package. Literally the whole way home from dinner I tried to get her picture. Finally I realized that JuJu and Poppy would just need to get a thank you video since getting our sweet girl to cooperate for a picture was not happening....
