The Easter Bunny came to visit McCanless and Mary Clare!!<\/p>\n

Okay, so I tried<\/em>!!! I ordered this Easter bonnet for Mary Clare because it is a Charleston Bonnet, and I thought it was an appropriately wonderful bonnet! It was so cute on her, but as soon as I tied it, she screamed. The ONLY way she would even keep it on for a moment was if I just placed it on top of her head without tying it!<\/p>\n

McCanless had had enough after finding two eggs. She was way more interested in the swings. (Which is exactly what she did last year at the church egg hunt!)<\/p>\n

On to Easter lunch and egg hunt number 2 at Grandmother’s house. (Redfearn) This time, however, there was an incentive! PaPa stuffs his Easter eggs with money!<\/p>\n

On to Nonnie\u2019s house and egg hunt number 3 for McCanless! Mel had to work after lunch, and Mary Clare fell asleep in the car driving home from Grandmother\u2019s house, so McCanless and I decide to keep on truckin\u2019 and hit the road to Nonnie\u2019s house!<\/p>\n

I so wish I had a photo or video of the “big” kid egg hunt that Nonnie has every year. Since we (ughmm, well most of us) are now in our 20’s(20’s\/30’s…it’s all the same, right!?), the Easter bunny no longer visits us, only grandkids. Nonnie more than makes up for the bunny by hiding cash stuffed eggs in the house! (She got the idea from Mel’s mom. In college, Mel and I could eat for 2 weeks on our egg hunt funds from Sarah!) Except Nonnie’s hunt gets a bit competitive! If you have ever seen the running of the bulls, you’ve come close to the experience! Mel, Alston, Kacy, Kate, Matt and I all running, pouncing and diving for colorful, tiny plastic eggs is quite a scene.<\/p>\n

I didn’t find a single egg. (Probably because Kacy elbowed me into the fridge causing me to step on her dog. AND every egg that I spotted, she jumped over me to grab.) BUT after a hint from Nonnie as to the whereabouts of the coveted $20 prize egg, we all dove toward the buffet in the dining room. Once I<\/strong><\/em> found it under a tin bunny and it fell to the floor, everyone hit the floor to grab MY egg. After bruised ribs from someone tickling me in efforts to get me out of the game, bruised knees and a patch of hair missing, I was able to capture The egg!) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
