Easter Lunch, Egg Hunt, and a Little Gun Action!

We had our traditional Easter lunch at Dee & Pop's house after a WONDERFUL morning of worship at church.

Afterwards, the Lainey and Mills hunted eggs and then we spent the afternoon watching the boys with their toys.  Of course, us girls participated too and we aren't too bad if I should say so myself.

Here is a recap of our afternoon in pictures.  I'm warning.  There are LOTS of them!

Easter Bunny

He came!  The Easter Bunny brought Mills an awesome Easter basket.  Mills woke promptly at 6:45ish and came down looking for his loot, but couldn't find it.  If it had been a snake, it would have bit him. ha!

He finally found it!

Easter Eggs

Mills, with generous help from his mommy, dyed his Eggs yesterday afternoon.  Dyeing eggs is one of my favorite Easter pastimes.  The only plastic eggs we ever used, was when Mom and I tied string to them and hung them on our tree in the front yard.  As for hunting, we never had plastic egg hunts, and I loved that!

I remember the egg hunt that we used to have every Easter Sunday afternoon at church.  Everyone was to bring a certain amount of dyed eggs.  The eggs were collected, hidden, and off we'd go!  There was always a winner, of course, but we always got our own eggs back to take home.   How I miss those days!
Mills is off to his very first egg hunt this morning.  I'm sure he will have a blast.  As for tomorrow, he and Lainey will hunt their dyed eggs at Pop and Dee's house.  A tradition started last year.





Blowing them dry!



I tried to get creative again, but I made more of a mess than anything.
