Some Easter Fun...

We started celebrating Easter a week early with an outdoor Easter Egg Hunt at Carver Park in Woodbury. My mom was able to join us but Chris sat this one out thinking he would make it to some of the other lil events of the weekend. We have done this hunt two other times I think but this year was the warmest which also meant the busiest. I think Linnea was a little overwhelmed with the busyness of it and ran around forgetting to pick up eggs. They have each age group go after a certain color egg. I stuck with Harper and my mom went with Linnea who grabbed maybe about 4 eggs but they proceeded to fall out of her basket...so we went home with nothing but she was actually okay with it. I shouldnt say nothing, Harper did get one egg and we ran into some friends who shared two eggs with Linnea. We also got this picture with this not creepy at all bunny:

Hopefully you got the sarcasm of not creepy...I think he is very creepy!

 Saturday morning I brought Linnea to a church near our house where a friend of mine is the pastor. They had an adorable, fun and free little Easter party happening. Chris was going to make it to this with us but Harper caught a nasty virus which I will write about more in the next post so he stayed home with her. 

Back to the party...Linnea played a few carnival type games but mostly did crafts, decorated an egg, listened to Mouse's Easter, had a free lunch and then another egg hunt which she was much more successful with :)

Linnea loved making her lil pink egg with crazy hair and purple sock bean bunny...so easy to make...I have a snowman decoration like this and always wondered how it was made. Now I know and we will make these snowmen next winter since I think this winter is finally done.

she really took her time decorating her bag to collect her trinkets in :)

All the eggs were hidden in the room and the kids got to go in with just a few other kids their same age at a time. Much more Linnea's pace.

Linnea and Rylee...my friends daughter who is the same age :)

After this event we ate a quick lunch at home and then headed out to the Woodbury YMCA where we were meeting our playgroup. One of the families in our group had a ton of free swim passes so we swam for our April gathering and it was so much fun. Afterwards we went to the library and got ice cream since the YMCA is connected to those places. It was a GREAT day and wore this girl right out:

such a rare occasion I had to snap a picture :)

We also had some bunny waffles for supper during the week and played with playdough and Easter cookie cutters :)
