Easter Hunt 2011

Oh, 3 years old is fun.  Our first Easter Egg Hunt!  We really had to get a dress on but we didn't want to touch our hair, we were so excited.  Mom wrote clues on paper to lead Stella to all the eggs.  It was a hoot.

"Clue?  I don't get this."

"Oh, NOW I get it . . . or at least I'm motivated to try harder!"

 I think this clue was something about how Mommy takes things out of the oven safely.

 Smarty pants, Smarties egg (there were eggs with 6 to 10 smarties inside).

 Outside next to find the "golden bunnies".  The bunnies were enjoying the garden, the wheel well of the truck, and the tree prior to their demise.

 "Sweet Victory is mine!"  Good job, Stella for finding all the clues! . . . and . . . off to see the big guy, weather notwithstanding.

 Thank you so much for the eggs and the bunnies, Easter Bunny!  This Easter bunny had endurance for sure; he was able to withstand a 15-second hug every 20 seconds for about 5 minutes from our little groupie before he felt obliged by his contract to acknowledge other children as well.

"Nice meeting you little girl.  Happy Easter."

 So Stella waited patiently while her Easter Bunny fulfilled his job duties and then reclaimed him to continue with the day as she saw fit.

Here she is drag- um, taking him across the whole park.  Why?

"You and me, Bunny.  Bouncy castle.  Stat."

 Well, bunnies and bouncing don't mix, oddly enough, and she was forced (yes, forced) to abandon him in favour of some other activities.

 Making a clay Easter egg, and having her face painted.  Goat today?  No!  Yay!  How about a fairy or butterfly, Stella?  No?  Oh, an elephant, how appropriate for the time of year and geographical location.  Let's make you an elephant.

 And back to the Easter Bunny for a personal invite to her third birthday.  We suspect she is also whispering some sort of threat in his ear if he doesn't come.  He was so patient with her.  Great Bunny.  Great day.
