Leprechauns and Easter Eggs!

I've been so happy to have some holidays to celebrate this week! It seems like it's been forever since Valentines Day and I've been ready for some more holiday activities! Well, for St. Patrick's Day we didn't do much, but I'm surprised at how simple things can just make Emma's day. When Ben got home from work he distracted her while I laid out little leprechaun footprints. At the end of the trail was a little goody bag filled with coins and green Starbursts. Emma was really excited about this - I had told her earlier in the day that leprechauns might come visit our house, so to keep her eyes peeled! She was seriously on the look out all day - she told me a couple times that she thought she saw one hiding under the kitchen table - she's so funny. She really has quite the imagination!

This morning we had a little Easter egg hunt for playgroup. We had a great turnout! The park was crazy busy, but we still still had a good time. One of the girls had the clever idea of doing the egg hunt across the parking lot in the empty ballfield - this worked great... away from the busy spring break crowd! Emma sure loves Easter egg hunts and she's getting much better at it as she gets older! Last year she stopped after each egg to open it up and check out the goods - this time she swept the area clean before diving in. Way to go Emma! :) I love Easter!!
