Egg-Stravaganza!

I'm feeling a little back in pregnancy mode, minus the pregnancy part :)  It's 12:45 a.m. and I am UP WIDE AWAKE!!!  Oh, and I should mention it's Sunday morning, and in just 5 short hours, the lovely and ever so relaxing event of getting everyone dressed and loaded in the car by 8:30 to be on our merry way to church begins :)  Don't get me wrong, I have very willing participants, I just don't have enough time, but for some reason, I REFUSE to wake before 6 a.m. :) 

From the looks of my title, you're probably thinking we've been watching a little too much Miss Patty Cake's EggggStravaganza, or perhaps it's merely 1 a.m. and that was the best I could come up with... fitting nonetheless!  We had our first little egg hunt for the week today, I mean yesterday, which just so happened to be Berkley's 1st egg hunt to participate in.  Now, granted, she only cared about 2 eggs, two because that's how many hands she has :)  A blue one and an orange one, with more emphasis put on the orange one :)  We had great fun, and I got some really cute pictures, but what I learned most from today's experience is that Aaron WILL MOST DEFINITELY be putting a Canon Rebel on his Christmas list this year, because with two children, BOTH need their own photographer!  It's just a MUST!  Okay, so maybe that would be a little much... nah... yep, that's what he needs!  A camera just like mine :)  I was like a chicken with my head cut off trying to keep up with two kids going in separate directions, while attempting to photograph both of their every move!!!  Do you get the visual?  First, I was like "Well, I have to take more pictures of Berkley because it's her first egg hunt!"  And then I was like "No, Kenadie looks way different than she did last year doing this, so maybe it's her I need more pictures of???"  All in all, I captured cute moments from both.  I'll just try to not let my mind go to the moments I most definitely missed...

My adorable little family, minus me.  My hair was looking some kind of terrible, and that's kind of a big deal, ya know...

Here's that orange egg I was telling you about :)

And here's that adorable little girl who is just growing up way too fast!

All the kiddies.  This is not all, but a large portion of all the kids on Aaron's mom's side of the family. Acknowledging that that was probably grammatically incorrect, but remember, it's 1 a.m., and I got up going strong at 7 this morning.  Kinda thinking this is the first time I've sat all day...

"Mommy!  Candy!!!"

Again, that beloved orange egg...

Kenadie and cousin, Lily

I wonder if back when Aaron was a star football and baseball player, picture Aaron rolling his eyes here, but it's the truth... if he ever imagined he would be chasing two giggly, pink-wearing, little girls around :)  He's great at it though :)

We're at Aaron's grandparents, by the way.  The girl cousins: Ava, Kenadie, Berkley, Lily & Miriam 

She got a little thirsty :)  Noting here, we have YET to find a food Berkley doesn't like!  Poor thing can't have wheat or milk, but she doesn't know she's missing out :(

And this little girl hasn't found a candy that she doesn't like :)

Peek-a-boo!

This about wraps up our first egg hunt of 2012.  Now, off to try to catch my zzzzzz's..... because I've got some super sweet 2 year olds who will be ready to play with me when I get to church in the morning :)  Too-da-loo!
