The before picture; before the hunt, the sugar high, the colored sugar dribbled on sweaters, the tears from missing eggs, before the excitement and the obvious signs of friendship!
Nathan and Jacob had an immediate bond. I think they were commiserating that they were the only boys in families of many girls! Nathan was really sweet and took great care of Jacob. I got to snap this one when Jacob was trying to snuggle into him with his head on Nathan's shoulder.
Nathan was awesome! He took Jake around and helped him find all of his eggs (the green ones), hand in hand!
Madeline had found all her eggs but one. She'd searched long and hard and it was no where to be found. Just as she was beginning to feel discouraged - viola! There it was. I love it when you catch genuine excitement!
Lindsey was the hero of the day! She had found all 12 of her eggs and everyone was eating and enjoying when Landon was sad because he couldn't find his last egg. Lindsey said "I know where it is!" It had fallen inside one of the juniper bushes (the really scratchy pine kind). Uncle Paul parted the bush and she went in and got it. Way to go Binz!
Hailey was so cute. She quietly went about collecting her purple eggs. I don't think I heard one word from her the whole time. She was just content to be on the hunt!
Jacob - you could tell he was mostly excited to be doing wheat the big kids were doing. I was glad he didn't know there was candy in there until the end.
Even at an early age all the girls gathered in one spot and the boys in another. No one said anything like "Eeeeewe! Don't sit over there by the boys!" They just did it!
