Easter Eggs, Candy and Peeps. Oh My!

Well, Easter weekend was filled with activities for Elektra. On Saturday our church hosted a community Easter Egg Hunt at the nearby park. Tons of kids were there. Ray took Elektra out to the field to pick eggs. Ray told her to pick up the eggs and when she looked around to see all 500+ eggs spread out across the field she said , "uh-un", meaning 'no'. She thought she had to pick up ALL the eggs. But soon she got the hang of it and came back with a nice stash.

Here is Elektra all dressed in her Easter Sunday best. This is the only good shot I could get of her. She did not want to have her picture taken.

After church, Ray took some Easter lilies up to John's grave while Elektra and I went back home and changed clothes. We had to get ready for yet another Easter egg hunt that was being held on base hosted by the local police and fire department. I must say that hunt was a straight out ruthless battle of parents pushing over little kids to get the 'golden eggs' that held a ticket for a prize inside. I spent most of that hunt just keeping Elektra out of the way of egg brawls. But Elektra had fun, despite the other parents.

Needless to say, Elektra got way more candy then she needed and I'm still finding plastic eggs behind the couch and under the beds. I swear those things can be just as bad as confetti and holiday tinsel!
