Easter and Eggs

We had a very nice Easter on a lovely day. First we headed to church to meet Dave's aunt and cousin, like we do every year. I was worried about how Gabe would behave in church, but he did pretty well. The only time we had to take him out was when he would screech because he liked to hear his voice echo.
After church, we all went back to our house for our traditional bloody marys and light breakfast. Of course, we had to hide the Easter eggs. Gabe LOVES eggs and was saying 'guh' all day long. We are old school and use real eggs for the hunt. Once Gabe found an egg he would smash it, then run off. He wasn't letting go of his 'guh,' until he realized there were more eggs to be found.

I found one...


Ooooo, another one...

I'm keeping this one...

You can't catch me...

Well, here's another one...

I'll just put them nicely in the basket...

He was definitely tuckered out after that and took a 3 hour nap. When he woke up, we headed to my mom's for a wonderful dinner.

Hope you all had a happy Easter!

Love the find-it-smash-it-move-on strategy :)

So cute - sounds/looks like Gabe really enjoyed the easter egg hunt, smash-and-grab style :) However, I can't stop thinking about how we will have to incorporate your Easter bloody mary tradition next year!

Gabe is so cute finding those "guhs!" And I had to laugh that he was screeching in church to hear his voice echo. At least that was the worst of it! Glad you had an enjoyable day!

How cute is Gabe in his Easter best, hunting eggs?! Oh my!

I think the Bloody Mary tradition is mandatory for any future egg hunts in my world...
