Church Egg Hunt

Ella was super excited about the Easter egg hunt portion of our time at church on Saturday.  We had prepared that morning and showed her how you find the eggs, pick them up, and put them in your basket.  Unfortunately as soon they were in her basket there was no chance of her giving them up!

She was so good waiting patiently for them to tell her she could start.  You could tell she was going crazy having to wait to go and get those eggs!
But when it was time for her to hunt, away she went!

She was so good at picking up the eggs and putting them in the basket!

She even decided that she could hold both the basket and pick up the eggs herself - she is so independent these days!

One thing we hadn't informed her of was that the eggs would be filled!  We had been practicing with empty eggs at home so when this realization was made she was soo excited! 
Then she realized that there was candy just laying on the grown so she had to show us that!


Eventually the basket got to heavy and Daddy had to start carrying it!
 
 Or maybe it wasn't too heavy she just needed both hands to double fist the eggs!
The church did a great job with the egg hunt and it was all so organized and the kids had SOOO many eggs to find!  Ella was probably able to find about 25 and that is with almost 75 kids there.  I can't wait until next year!
