First Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday was a big day.  Kate and I went to Mrs. Betsy's baby sprinkle and had a great time!  There was a great turnout with lots of food, presents, games and good company.  Kate and I ended up leaving a little early since I had to make sure she got a nap before the church Easter Egg Hunt.

For the past couple years, the event has been at the Lake House in the Centerville Conservation Community. I had never been there before and it was beautiful. Justin helped cook hot dogs and hamburgers and we both helped hide Easter eggs.  The lesson we learned for next year: start the hunt shortly after you hide eggs to avoid melting chocolate and ants. Not a good combination. Kate was a natural hunter, but I wasn't surprised since she is her father's daughter.

Success!  These two were a force to be reckoned with.

After the Easter egg hunt, we quickly got ready for Jordan and Katie's engagement party that night.  Ms. Sarah (who I used to babysit for) came over to watch Kate - her first "official" (paid) babysitter.  Thankfully, Ms. Sarah gave us a good report when we got back.

It was a busy, busy day Saturday and it's not over yet.  We have another Easter egg hunt next weekend with the Sapp family (Emeline and Nolan) and the following weekend is Easter!

I love the picture of Kate and Audrey. The reason Audrey has so many eggs in her basket is because Kate would find them and put them in there, lol. They were the best little team!
I just love her sweet face!!

Happy Father's Day!
