easter egg hunt 
01
last (SUNNY!) saturday, my boys and i hosted our first easter egg hunt. 

15
it was not easy tracking down my favorite handles for the cupcake baskets. but i love them too much.

08
amy came over the day before the hunt and helped put together the daffodil straws and the jelly belly carrots. thats exactly what friends are for.

06
before our friends arrived, tagg helped make sure the treat table was just right. translation: he tried to sneak a bite of each dessert.

05
when everyone got to our house, some men helped hide the eggs....

19
while some men (craig) shot bb guns. please dont ask.

07
the kids decorated easter egg sugar cookies while they waited for the hunt.

12
when all the eggs were hidden, off they went! emery and sully are just about the cutest little couple on the planet.

04
everyone found their allotted 12 eggs. elliot, emery and alivia.

14
rylan and asher obviously found thier eggs.... chocolate goatees anyone?

03
tagg took the entire situation very seriously.

16
the thompsons are seriously some of my favorite people on this planet.

20
there was an egg down there somewhere. i promise.

11
avery and tagg took a break from hunting to look through their candy.

02
why does every child go through the smiling-way-too-much-to-the-point-where-theyre-not-so-cute phase? but i love that little nugget. its impossible not to.

17
sully's (and tagg's) favorite babysitter, my cousin, grace. we are so very lucky to have her live close by.

13
megan and lexi. about two minutes after this shot, lexi may or may not have chewed through the bag and got herself a jelly bean!

10
the children and their loot.

18
the girls. 

09
it was such a wonderful day. i will remember it forever.
