Munchkin Monday: Easter
We attended my parents’ neighborhood Easter Egg hunt, as is our annual tradition. This year, it was being sponsored by our (huge) church, so the attendance was at least double the usual (and it’s usually a fairly good turnout). The egg hunt for Little Button’s age lasted approximately 10 seconds because the ratio of eggs to children was completely underestimated. I’m told they actually had 1,000 more eggs to put out, but the HOA queen wouldn’t let them. Button scored 1 egg during that hunt, and she only managed that one because a nice lady took one of her son’s eggs and laid it down in front of Button to pick up. Thank you Nice Lady, whoever you are.
Fortunately, Button is still of the age where she doesn’t realize she didn’t get “enough” eggs. We let Button jump in on the older kids’ hunt and she managed to find 3-4 more eggs, so she walked away with enough treasures to satisfy. I did see some kids in tears over the lack of eggs to be found, and was glad we didn’t have to cross that bridge yet.
Her favorite part of the day was meeting the Easter Bunny. She met him 3 or 4 times because she just couldn’t get enough. She gave him hugs, high-fives, shook his hand (paw?) and posed for pictures in his lap. Mr. Bunny is totally the Mac Daddy.
Oh yeah, pictures…







After the egg hunt was over, we walked back to Grandmommy and Grandpa’s house. Ok, J and I walked - Button (as usual) ran.

When we finally caught up to her, she was sitting on G&G’s front yard, waiting patiently and playing with some of her “loot” from the egg hunt.

1) Little Button is truly a cute kid. You really don’t get much cuter.
2) Your photography is really great! I love the running shot and the picture of her inspecting her egg - one pony tail and ribbon clearly in focus.
I’ve been wanting a nice digital SLR for awhile. Is your camera something fancy-schmancy?

I use a Nikon D70S. I love it because it allows me all the freedom I want to play with settings, but still holds my hand when I just want to take a picture using the “Auto” mode. Which is most of the time because I find that with a toddler, you don’t get a lot of time to play “professional” before taking the shot, or you lose the opportunity.
