Adventures with Avery

We got a few short snippets of video during Avery's first easter egg hunt with Guy's office. It was a bit difficult because it had been raining in the days prior so the grass was wet and muddy. We didn't want avery getting all dirty so we would bend her down over the eggs so she could grab them- not exactly the most graceful egg hunt, but she LOVED holding the eggs. She wouldn't even put them in the basket- she wanted to hold them the whole time. Classic!

Avery's first Easter Egg Hunt

Today was such a fun day with Avery! We headed down to Guy's office in Palo Alto for their annual Easter Egg hunt celebration. There were tons of families- Guy's co-workers from both offices- and lots of little kids running around. They did a great job- we started with a big easter egg hunt around the grass and pond. The grass was wet from recent rain so we carried avery around and leaned her over so she could grab eggs and put them in her basket. Note about Avery's easter basket- this is a very special basket, made by my grandmother for me when I was little. My mom saved it and sent it to us for Avery. It made the day even more special! Avery LOVED holding onto the eggs- she was so distracted we couldn't get her to smile for the camera all day- a rarity for our girl! They had the Easter bunny there too- check out Avery's reaction. Looks VERY similar to her reaction to Santa at Christmas!! How funny! They also had a clown making balloon animals and a woman painting faces. Avery's favorite part was just sitting on our blanket and playing with her basket full of eggs. Life's simple pleasures. We're excited to spend Easter tomorrow at our new church and then have brunch and another egg hunt with new friends the Kramer family. Happy Easter to all- He is Risen!
