This year we took the twins to an Easter Egg hunt merely for the fact that I was the one running it (I am a co-social chair for the SB Parents of Multiples, Easter was my bag). I think they are still a little young and there will be YEARS of hunts to come but it would have been bad if I didn’t bring my own kids! Of course when I signed up for that project I wasnt thinking of the daddy working ridiculous hours and me having to do this alone. Thank heavens it worked out that Mima T was going to be in town. Laurie (another social chair who has twin girls that Loen merely calls “the girls”) helped me set everything up. I found it humerous that me (an ex-Jehovahs Wittness) and Laurie (who is Jewish) were setting up the Easter picnic and neither of us have had any previous experience.
I barely got to spend time with Lo & Derby and Tadd missed their first egg hunt. He did stop by for about 20 minutes for the picnic part. Grandpa Jim came to watch as well and followed Derby as he ran off in every direction.
Loen playing with one of “the girls” Samantha before the hunt.
Loen got her face painted with a butterfly. Derby wasnt interested in such things
Loen quickly picked up on the idea of grabing prizes to put into her basket. Mima T was helping her.
Derby on the other hand would put a few eggs in his basket then take them out and hurl them. How do you explain to a kid you get to be greedy and collect all these prizes before another kids gets them. It is confusing I tell you.
Afterwards Loen was kind enough to relieve her brother of his basket.
Derby was wiped out after the hunt
Here they are post Easter egg hunt nap Skyping their father to tell him of their adventures. At least they are both together and looking up at the same time, albeit a little groggy.
Did I get many wonderful shots in their adorable outfits from Oma and Papa Andy? No. Did I get a least one family shot on Easter? No. Did the Daddy even make it to Easter services?? No. Life has just been hectic and crazy lately! I mutter the countdown to April 15th every morning…..
Here is a photo of Lo modeling her Easter dress (a good 2 weeks before the event). Also showing off her talent for “funny faces”.
Derby in his Easter outfit playing on his awesome drum set from Mima T and Papa Don.
The only shot with Mima T and Grandpa Jim on Easter.

Impressive Easter Egg celebration. All I could come up with was some celaphane for my homemade Easter baskets and a half eaten carrot that the bunny decided to partake in. I need more training….

Oh phullllleeeeze Brandy. I saw those Martha Stewartesque baskets and your Bunny offering. I should show the video of the baskets with a box of peeps, a slinky, some chapstick, a car and Brobee. I totally just threw it all in there with a little balloon from Vons!

I’m still in pagan celebration training. Although I found the $1 isle at Target to be key for this year’s basket extravaganza. My kids did not receive any Peeps… so I must remember those next year. ps…. is Loen ready for My Little Pony yet??
