Lolly Gagger

Talmage's first egg hunt he's ever participated in.  It was nice not having any kids over 4 years old there, no one to push or shove the little ones out of the way.  It was a very peaceful hunt, and pretty adorable to watch the little ones.  It was funny to see how Tal acted...I thought for sure he would go crazy running around picking up as many eggs as he could find....but actually, as the 3 and 4 year olds (who had done this before) respectfully zoomed by, scurrying about a bit faster finding their eggs quickly, Talmage took his time pondering about each one he came across.  Each egg had to look different from the last one and he had to shake it and make sure it had something inside.  He made sure he got every color egg in his basket.  If he found a blue egg and already had a blue egg in his basket he would put it back or walk past it.  

What a lolly gagger.

Found some scattered treats in the grass.

Hitting the jackpot on this Pine tree.

"Mink mom, it's mink!" (pink)

Telling me the color of each egg as he found them.

After he found his dozen eggs he sat down to examine his loot.

Just having a good time. I love this picture, and how he is laughing at something Duncan was saying.

Here's most of the kids, happily eating candy from their baskets.

This one below was my favorite of all the lil bunnies...This was all the kids that were in attendance.  What a bunch of cuties.

Cole, Marshall, Jill, Talmage, Bridgette, Scarlet, Benson, Max, Penny, Jack, Charlotte, and Duncan.

Talmage figuring out how to take the tinfoil wrapper off the chocolates.

"It open mom! It open!"

So proud he opened the candy himself.  Look at his face.  I could probably think of several different captions for this picture...

Even happier after eating abut 10 pieces of chocolate.

What a great playgroup it was.  Talmage still talks about his eggs and candy.  But in a few short days he will be getting a lot more plastic eggs to find, and most of them are going to be filled with coins that he can put in his bank.
