{ The Easter Egg Hunt 2009 }

The Janzen Family- Easter 2009


Today we had the pleasure of being invited over by one of our friends for their annual Easter Egg Hunt! I felt blessed to be part of such a crazy and fun morning activity.

It was Jacob's first Easter Egg Hunt. He played shy. That's JJ for you though. He didn't really get the idea of it, but liked the idea of treats! Towards the end he figured out that there was one special package in each area that was for him to put in his basket... which was actually a paint can that I painted blue for him a couple hours before we left because I realized he doesn't have an Easter Basket yet. However, the paint can looked kinda cute. I think if I decorate it and put his name on it, it will be very cute. Perhaps then I could just use that for him! Brilliant. *grin*

Then of course there was Josiah. He cries if any male picks him up or holds him- other then his Dada. If he's in our arms though he'll give away many little smiles. He of course wants ANYTHING that JJ has. At one point, JJ was eating his jelly beans and Jojo was pulling JJ's sweatshirt hood to TRY to reach JJ's treats. The funny thing was that he was actually having success pulling JJ over. That memory is now nicely captured on camera- even the mad scream JJ let out. It was comical though!!!!

We had a very nice group effort spread after the hunt had concluded. Thanks to SL Cory and I actually got to have Paska this year!!! I can't believe I lived so many years without Paska! *grin* It was pretty darn good... I wanted seconds. Suppose I could attempt making my own tomorrow though!

So overall it was a fun, crazy, gong-show of a morning with our boys! However, we feel very blessed to be able to take part in these types of things and cannot wait until next year to do it all over again. Thank you K&CW for opening your home and hosting this special event and inviting us over to take part. It was a lot of fun and created a great little family memory for us for this year!

HAPPY EASTER to all that come by to read this. We hope that you have a wonderful Easter and you take time to really reflect upon what Jesus did for us on the cross. What a wonderful Saviour.

Thanks for coming by!

Love, love.
