First Grade Easter Egg Hunt

Early Friday Morning I helped hide over 250 Easter eggs on the school playground.  Each of the eggs had a letter on the outside and the kids had to find the right eggs to spell out POWHATAN PRIDE.

Gracie and her friend Alexa after they found all of their easter eggs.  They made the cutest Easter Baskets out of gallon milk jugs!

Checking out the candy in each of their eggs.

Baby Chicks and Bunnies!

Our next door neighbor and friend Paula has a photography studio in her home.  When she has mini sessions scheduled throughout the day I get to be her assistant and help the customers with ordering and checking out.  I really enjoy it and she also takes my girls pictures for me in return! Gracie put on her new Easter dress from Nana and Papa and we went over to see the baby animals.   The little chicks are so soft and sweet.  There are a dozen of them all snuggled together, under a heat lamp.  Their tiny little beaks tap at your hands as you hold them and they make the softest little chirping noises.

Emmy didn't like the idea of holding the chicks and opted to have them placed in a basket beside her on the bench.  She sure does look pretty in the Easter dress from Nana and Papa!

Milkshake the bunny was a little camera shy.  Maybe he was wondering why his brother, Butterscotch and his sister, Oliva didn't get to be in the picture.
