The triplets went to their first Easter Egg hunt on Saturday morning at church. It was very well planned and executed by the church members and I think the kids really enjoyed it. They started by reading them a pop-up book of the Easter story. Then, the smallest kids, 2, 3 and 4 year olds were separated from the big kids, so they didn't get trampled in the pursuit of eggs. And as you can see, they had an egg carton that they could fill up. Once it was full, you were done getting eggs. Grace decided she wanted to get only orange eggs, and took a while finding those. She eventually picked up some of other colors, though. Will opened all his eggs as he picked them up, so it took him a while. And Xander is just generally slow, so it took him a while, too. We were some of the the last ones done. I sacrified helping them hold their cartons and gather eggs to get some pictures, so Judy (someone who works with Ellen in the church office) is the one helping Will in the second picture from the top. Brian helped Xander and Grace was OK by herself most of the time, although another man did help her a little bit. The pictures are chronological through the morning. Top picture is before the hunt began, next three are during the hunt, next three are after with their cartons full. I tried to get them all three to smile together at the end, but Will had other plans. More about Easter later!
