easter came early this year - the last weekend of march.
luckily - it was a beautiful weekend, full of fun festivities!
saturday morning we got ready & were off to eagle to try out their easter egg hunt in the park. last year we did the gypsum one at the rec center, so thought we'd try something new. we met our friends amanda, jim & calvin for coffee before hand & walked to the park together. they had a small area roped off for each age group 1-2, 3-4, etc. since calvin was already 3, & kennedie would be in a couple weeks, we decided to 'hunt' in the 3-4 zone. she only got about 5 eggs & i could tell was disappointed (heartbreaking for mommy to see) but we made the most of it & she loved opening up the eggs to see all the candy inside.
ready to hunt :)

when we got home, it was time for some egg decorating of our own. this year i thought we'd try painting the eggs instead of just dunking them. kennedie loved it!
once the eggs we all done, they needed to dry, so we went out to the backyard & made our own easter egg hunt! kennedie was very good at finding all of the eggs i hid & wanted to do it over and over and over :) it would prove to be good practice for our easter brunch with friends on sunday.
the easter bunny left an easter egg trail for kennedie to follow from her room to her baskets on easter morning. here are before & after shots - she obviously had no trouble finding them & once she did, she opened everything, threw it on the floor & went for the next. she got some treats, a twirly dress, fun farm animal book, a new pair of shoes & some hair bows.
we made our way over to the brummer's for an easter brunch. it was a beautiful day! we had a wonderful potluck meal with friends & then the dads hid eggs around the yard for the kids. kennedie filled her basket with eggs right to the top this time! she was so excited!
we had a wonderful weekend with friends! we are so lucky
