Easter Egg Hunting!

Well we woke up this morning to freezing cold weather! We decided to brave the weather and take Addison to her very first Easter Egg Hunt! She seemed to be really excited about the eggs (or that her Gaga and Papa were there) until...the hunt started! ha ha. She really liked holding her basket- but she totally lost it when we put a egg in it.

As soon as they said go, Addy started crying and wanted to be held.
We did manage to snag her a few eggs. Once she decided that Easter egg hunting wasn't so bad- all the eggs were gone! So, we took her eggs back out and threw them on the ground- and she had her own egg hunt!
She had a fun time picking up the eggs and putting them in her basket.

She was happy with her little eggs...once her daddy showed her there was candy inside of them.
They also had a petting zoo. Addy was really interested in the animals, but she did not want to touch or feed them.
She realized all you had to do is give daddy an egg and he'd open it and give her the candy on the inside.
If Gaga is around, Addy has to be right next to her. She was in heaven when she got to have Gaga and Daddy hold her hand.
Papa was a good sport for coming out in the freezing cold for the egg hunt. Him and Uncle Justie cheered Addy on the whole time. She sure does love her Papa (and the pocket full of M&M's he usually carries around with him:)).
Overall, it was such a fun day. We stayed and watched cousin Hailey and Lauren hunt their eggs and ended the day with a fun lunch with the family. Holidays seem like they get less and less exciting as you get older until you have kids of your own. I find myself getting more and more excited about each holiday that comes up so that I can celebrate it with Addison. She is at such a fun age where everything is so exciting! She is definitely the joy of our lives (and the center of our lives:)).
