Egg Hunt #1

This Easter was special in the fact that we were able to celebrate Easter with the Smoak side of the family right before our family came into town and then we were able to celebrate a second time during Easter weekend with the Morgan side.  We had a blast hunting and dying eggs at the Smoak's house Friday evening.  We ate dinner and then let the kids go out and hunt the eggs.  Jupe (Charles' dad) put over 150 eggs around their backyard and the boys had a blast running around and filling up their baskets.
 The boys had so much fun filling their baskets.  There were a few times that Jacob had his basket so full that as he ran to get the next egg he saw he would spill eggs all the way and wouldn't even realize it until he got to where he was going.  It was so fun to watch!!
Luke had a great time just watching... he doesn't quite know what he is missing at this point but by this time next year he will be going full speed trying to keep up!!  He was super content watching from his Daddy's arms, eating his Daddy's shirt and playing with his blue egg! :)
The boys love doing anything and everything with their cousins... cousins, aunts and uncles just make everything more fun! :)
As soon as the eggs had been found Grandma brought out all the stuff for the kids to dye eggs.  This year for us was definitely a little bit easier with the boys being a year older.  I didn't worry quite as much over them spilling the dye all over themselves or turning all the cups over and they really enjoyed it this year!!
That Friday evening at Grandma and Jupe's with cousins and family was so much fun!  I love living close enough to be able to do these types of things and I love that for years to come our boys will make lots and lots of memories just like this!!
