The Annual Wallace Orchard Easter Egg Hunt

Easter Saturday was mostly spent at Grandma Wallace's house where we held the annual egg hunt. It was a little more low-key this year since 6 (read HALF) of the regular participants are in one of the stupid Dakotas. Boo :( We miss you Jay and Lara!

Anyway.... here are some pictures of the inevitable cuteness.

Emma drew a portrait of Caulene. Can you see the resemblance? Heading out the door. That girl was soooo excited for this!

That girl, like in everything else, was a little more relaxed about it all, but not any less pleased with the day's activities.

It's funny to see their different personalities emerging.

Emma got bored with the easy part on the lawn for the little kids so she ran to check out the Orchard hunt.

Jack got in on the action too. He will be a rock star at this next year!

Heather is always ready to help a niece in need- - - for a minimal fee of course- - - (note the egg shaped bulge in her pocket. . .) He got one open!

Yay for jelly beans!

Sorting the loot.

Oh my. I love this boy!

So much, I love this boy!

Great Grandpa Wallace was great at spinning the eggs like tops. Jack LOVED that trick.

This isn't even that great of a shot with the strange light spot and the busy back ground and the off-center composition, but it makes me a bit teary to look at. I don't know why. Obviously it has something to do with the deep love I have for the two people featured here.

My Grandma and my baby sharing a moment. Beautiful.

I love my family and I love our traditions.

Our Easter Kitty

For those who thought the glitter on the kitty was bad, you may not want to view the rest of these pictures. :)
My grandma always says, "Waste not, want not" The left over egg dye had to be used somehow ...

Unfortunately not all of the colors took well to the white fur of my Dad's cat.

Just the pink. . . My dad says the birds should be a bit safer while the dye lasts. :)

I find it festive and fun!

Seriously, how cool is my family?

The (Maybe) Last Egg Decorating Post of 2011

Somehow this one didn't make it in the last batch. I was just going to add it there, but I loved them too much and feared they might get overlooked if put in a previous post. This is Jessica with her lovely Rapuzel- the hair expertly styled by Tanner, and a sparkly Edward created by Heather, who I thought was on Team Jacob, but whatever. Also thanks to my lovely mother for some of the pictures in the previous post. Apparantly I gave credit to some of the wrong people and I wanted to make it right here. Mom, your pictures are amazing and wonderful and almost as pretty as you.

More Epic Egg Pictures STOLEN From Facebook!

My family posted a bunch more egg pictures on facebook, so I stole some. Thanks Carrie, Heather, and Dad!

The glue gun station. More than one blister was caused here. Sauron's Eye! This got the Literary Award.

Art in progress. I love this tradition and all the people who come play!

Yoda. He took first place. He's so cute!

I love this little Toy Story alien.

My Dad posted these. I love the posing of Yoda. Too funny.
