Egg-stravaganza

Happy Easter - He is Risen!


Shayden participated in his 1st Easter Egg Hunt this morning with his pals Izzy, Caleb and Sophia. It was a blast. We literally approached a large field filled with a million little kids and even more parents with cameras, strollers, diaper bags and all the gear that comes with your little one. Then a huge horn blasted and before we could really explain what was going on we had to throw Shayden into the fray and tell him to go for the eggs. Needless to say he did not disappoint. It was as if he knew exactly what to do and had no problem running around, gathering eggs and throwing them in his Easter basket.
When it was all over (about 4 minutes later) the next thrill was seeing him realize there was something in the egg. Now in Shayden's case that wasn't the highlight of the event as he chose every egg in the field filled with stickers and he very much dislikes stickers if they touch him and are placed on his body or clothing...but when the Easter Bunny's helper gave him a package of pretzels...well he was in heaven.
It was a beautiful day with wonderful friends and a memory I will definitely treasure forever.
Enjoy the pics.
