Easter egg hunt, take two

Our apartment complex hosted an Easter egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter and Reese was thrilled at another opportunity to get more candy! This time she was prepared to actually "race" to get the candy-filled eggs, but even with a head start for the little kids, she was not quite ready to compete with the older kids. Although, I will say, she did pretty well for herself.
Here she is, so excited to start the race, scoping out the eggs' hiding spots.
Good eye, Dad!
Reese was pretty pleased with her loot! She wanted to sit right down and start eating it all.

Reese and her Dad have races on this grass everyday when he gets home from work, so I thought if I told her we were racing, she would get her competitive edge. (My favorite part is the girl who runs by panting...now, she is serious about her candy!)
After all the Easter egg hunts Reese had enjoyed, by the time I had one for her at our house on Easter morning, she was totally not interested. Well, I should re-phrase that. She was in no rush to put the Easter eggs and other goodies in her Easter basket. She knew she had no competition, so she was going to take her sweet time finding and eating her candy. Why not leave some Easter eggs out for later? She knew they weren't going anywhere. It was a little anticlimactic, to say the least. Oh, well, there's always next year!
