Any idea what Julianna is doing in this photo?
What about this one of Lydia?
Yep, it's officially Easter egg hunt season in our home. This is, apparently, a game that little girls can play for hours on end. I hide the eggs in the living room while they hover in the hallway, squirming in anticipation. They run in, scramble to find all the eggs, and then say "Let's do it again."
Now that they are a little older I can actually hide some of the eggs. Last year the eggs Lydia found were 'hidden' in plain sight on the carpet. It was more like an "Easter egg pick up" as opposed to an Easter egg hunt. But still, our living room is not that large, and the number of places to hide Easter eggs is limited. They don't care. They just want to play Easter egg hunt over and over and over.
Here they are posing in the hallway ready to run in and starting looking.
We've also started using our set of Resurrection Eggs. If you have young kids I highly recommend them as a great way to teach the Easter story. We put them all in an Easter basket and open a new egg every morning at the breakfast table. They are so popular with our kids that we start well in advance of Easter, so we have time to go through all the eggs twice before Easter Sunday arrives. But there are many ways to use the set, and you don't have to do "an egg a day" like we do. Anyways, if you are interested, click here to learn more.

What beautiful Easter egg hunters! And you did get started well in advance! Brings back wonderful memories of you and Stephen and the cousins too hunting in the house and in the yard - we hid eggs for days if not weeks!

Hey, Laura! Thanks for the comment on our blog. We love checking your blog, too! I was just thinking of you because I"m not exactly looking forward to traveling with a 1 year old (we're going to ND soon, hopefully). I told myself, "I can handle it-Matt and Laura travel all the time with 3 kids!" Rob gets back at the end of June-can't wait! Bye for now.
Great idea! I'm going to order some of those for Mack's easter basket. I've been looking for something like that. And FamilyLife is located right here in Little Rock.
