The Great Egg Hunt

Easter Sunday was Elise's first Easter egg hunt.  We didn't have high expectations of seeing her running around in a frenzy of excitement scooping eggs up and throwing them into her basket like a heathen.  Nevertheless, she was totally into the thrill of the chase.  We showed her one egg, told her to put it in her basket, and from that moment on it was on like Donkey Kong!

 

"Hmm.  Let me see what these colored balls are out in the yard."

 

"So, let me make sure I'm understanding this complicated concept.  I just pick it up, put it in that pink lacy bucket, and all ya'll cheer and clap your hands?"

"Well, watch this you idiots and prepare to be amazed.  Psshhh.  Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader my azz"

"That's right peeps!  Baby got mad egg huntin skillz!"

"Uh huh... thought I wouldn't find this one did you?  I was born at night, but it wasn't last night, honey"

"I'm going to be unloading all of my eggs into my car.  I like my eggs where I can see them.  Oh, and Nana... be a dear and make sure you don't drop any."

"I'm outta here, homies.  Catch ya on the flip side."

"Yo, Daddy-O, I know this ride can catch another gear, so don't let grass grow under your feet."

Such a little diva.  I just don't know what I'm going to do with all the attitude that little girl has.  I can only imagine it will continue to increase with her age.  

Of course, photos wouldn't be complete without a few family shots.  Unfortunately, we didn't manage to get any of all THREE of us together.  Maybe next year.

And since one day of egg hunting just wasn't enough.  Monday morning, afternoon, evening.  All day on Monday I picked up Easter eggs, while someone else kept on celebrating.  And celebrating.  Just wait until Christmas this year.  It's going to be a celebration of epic proportions.  She might even have that shot glass mastered by New Year's.  Of course she'll be shooting chocolate milk.  Just because she's small doesn't mean she doesn't have BIG plans!
