Annual McDonald Easter Egg Hunt


What a fun weekend up in New Jersey! Ellie is particularly very excited about showing off her walking skills as she trots to check out the dying of the eggs.


Evie has a look of pure concentration as she focuses on dying the eggs to perfection.


Ellie checked it out and has some green fingertips to prove it, but she decided egg-dying wasn't her thing.


Her new fascination this weekend has been climbing up on chairs. She set to work moving all the boiled eggs from the chair to the ground - out of my way, eggs!


Then she liked climbing up all by herself, with Mommy nervously watching behind her. This time, she didn't quite get it right and tried lounging on the chair.

...then she would slide down and start all over.


Hurrah! Cousins Julianna and Stan arrive, and everyone looks dapper in their Easter finest!


Then it is time for the big hunt. Evie dons her diva faux fur coat and Easter necklaces. "Wait a second," she says, "this is empty!"

Aunty Karen, Bryn, Mommy and Ellie watch the big kids run around.

Molly shares an egg with Stanny, who held his own despite being surrounded by girls.

Daddy looks a little tired from the adult Easter Egg Hunt - he managed to come in second place this year after Uncle Dave.

Ellie enjoys sampling the goodies from her sister's basket.

Then we had to get all the cousins on the stairs for a group pictures. JJ leans over to give Ellie a kiss.

Here's probably the best one we could get of all the kids, although you can tell Ellie and Stan look ready to run for the hills!


Evie was told to keep her hands on little baby Bryn just in case she would fall over, and she took her job very seriously!

She wouldn't let go even after all kids were let loose - it was pretty funny!

Thank you Bebe and Popi for a delightful weekend!
