We attended the annual Easter festivities in Foresthill at Jeff and Vicki's house. As many of you already know, the main event is a huge Easter egg hunt for the kids. There are literally hundreds of eggs, and Raegan had been excited about this pretty much since a few days after Christmas. We have read "Spot's first Easter" a countless amount of times and about a month and a half ago, she began practicing her hunting skills by having us hide eggs around the house and yard for her to find. Her skills were definitely fine tuned by the day of the hunt! She was so excited that she would squeal when we talked about it. The competition was fierce, with around 50 or so other kids age 0 to 14 looking for eggs in a frantic sprint. It started off a little rocky (she would point to the egg, instead of running to grab it- she was just so excited to have found an egg!) but after some encouragement she caught on and did well with her egg collection. Some of the eggs had numbers on them, and at the end of the hunt the numbers were called and the kids exchanged the egg for a toy prize. Raegan was less than thrilled at the idea of giving up ANY of her eggs, and she said, "I don't want toys! I want eggs!" After some further explanation, she agreed the toys weren't a bad idea. It was a great day with friends and family, and Raegan also fell in love with the Easter bunny who made a grand appearance. Anytime there weren't kids sitting with the bunny, Raegan would run over and take a seat next to him. Very sweet!
