Easter in Alaska
This is the first year that the spawn showed remotely any interest in all things “Easter Bunny”. So I figured it was time to pull out all the stops and let her have a blast.
They had a huge egg coloring event at the Elks Lodge. I figured…. “food coloring… being spilled all over… at someplace other than my house???? HECK YEAH!!!!”
The lady at the lodge was soooo awesome with Em. She instructed her how to color them, what to do with the wax pencils, how to mix them, etc.
I’ll admit… at first Em was completely perplexed about what needed to be done. “you want me to do WHAT with the egg???? ”

OHHHHHH okay! I can handle that!

Look mom… I’ve totally got this figured out!

Easter morning arrived and we had to have our own easter egg hunt. Living in Alaska can be a bit of challenge when it comes to easter egg hunts. It’s still a bit chilly, there is still a lot of snow. She was a champ though, and she had a blast!

And then it was back to the Elks lodge for the big Easter egg hunt and the meeting with the Easter bunny!!!!!
Now WHY won’t this child ever look at me when I take a picture of her????

She’s really good at looking straight into the camera when she THINKS you aren’t taking a picture. That is one of the really great things about the new bad boy camera… it takes like a gazillion shots a second, so I can actually CATCH HER looking at the camera ![]()

She made a few friends before the big hunt. They formulated their game plan. They were ready to attack! One thing I want to note… you see the girl in the green dress. She’s a full month OLDER than Em. It’s official… my child is a GIANT!

Then they were off. They desecrated the egg field in like TWO SECONDS flat! They all had a fantastic time and Em is now officially (finally) HOOKED on the Easter Bunny!
Your daughter is beautiful! Those blue eyes…I bet she has Daddy wrapped around her finger!…LOL!
Oh…is that a santa I see! LOL! You metioned earlier that your Hubby hadn’t taken down christmas yet…I just thought I would raz you a little…HEHEHE.
I pray for family. I pray you all are safe and happy!
Easter is a wonderful time!
