Easter 2012

This year was the first year that Susannah was old enough to participate in all of the Easter fun, so I decided to make sure we had a big day by throwing a little egg hunt/potluck in our backyard.   It was a great afternoon full of friends and food.   Here are some of the day's highlights.....

These first few pics are a little blurry, but I decided to post them anyway because Susannah looked so sweet in her dress.

Looking at the flowers.

Squinting in the bright morning sun.

Going in for a kiss for her best friend, Meadow.

And another kiss......

LOVE this picture of my two girls.

Susannah's Grammy bought her Easter dress......I think it is the sweetest dress.  

Susannah liked it too.

But she wanted to add a little bling so for the egg hunt she busted out some cool accessories.

Her best friend Leyton brought her Easter bunny to share.

We enjoyed so much good food.....Honeybaked Ham, potato casserole, deviled and dyed eggs, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, salad, sandwhiches.......it was quite the spread.

And we had so many desserts, they needed their own table.

The peanut butter cake balls and the bunny feet cupcakes were the favorites.

My friend Brittany made these adorable Bunny Tail treats to go in the kids' goodie bags.

The Easter egg hunt was a big hit......we had 7 kids and they had a great time.

Susannah wasn't completely sure of what she was supposed to do.....

Leyton was an egg hunting pro though.

And these guys were really on top of their game.

Susannah wanted to take the eggs out of her basket.

And inspect each one.

"Oh look, this one is blue!"

"Now what do I do with it again Mommy?   Put it in the basket?"

Susannah let Leyton wear her cool sunglasses for the hunt.

After multiple attempts, this was the best pic of the four best friends......Maybe one day we can all look at the camera at the same time.

Thanks sweet Susannah for giving your Mommy such fun Easter memories.   I love you!

Hope all of you had an equally fun Easter.   Stay tuned for the next post.......It will include lots of messy pictures of our newest adventure into the world of feeding ourselves with our own utensils.
