Easter Cook-out and Egg Hunt

My parents' church puts on a big Easter Egg Hunt every year, complete with the Easter Bunny, inflatables, coloring contest and lots of eggs! We decided to take Little this year, and we invited one of Frank's coworkers, Joe, and his family. We've been wanting to hang out with them for awhile, so we decided to have a cook-out before the egg hunt. It was really a great time! Though it was my first time meeting them, it felt like I'd known them forever. They are a lot of fun, and Little just instantly loved their little girl, Sable, who is 4 years old. Sable brought Little a sweet Easter surprise.And Sable was so sweet to let Little just hang all over her. Frank's parents were also visiting for the weekend, my parents came, and Tamatha's dad was in town, so we ended up having a big crowd for lunch. We had tons of food and lots leftover. My motto is: Better to have too much than not enough. I always want to have enough for no matter who shows up. Good thing we love leftovers!We ate way too much and then headed to the egg hunt. It was packed and there was so much for the kids to do. Of course, Little was too small to do a lot of the activities, but she loved the stickers they gave us when we registered and she was just happy people-watching, in particular, kid-watching. She also had a good time hunting eggs, with a little help from Daddy. You can see here the sea of eggs and the crowds just waiting to break through that tape to trample them. And here are the girls checking out their loot. I'd say they were pretty satisfied.
I can't wait to hang out with Joe, Tamatha and Sable again. We had a great time!
