Nightmare on Easter Street 2012

Today was the first of several Easter egg hunts for our family.  This was Cole's first actual year to participate and everyone was excited for the hunt.  After arriving we lined up with baskets in hand and eagerly awaited the hunt to begin.

Everything was fine until this riff raff walked past. 

Then it was time to hide in the protection of mama’s legs.

It took a few minutes but Cole finally warmed up to Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny.  Cole would hoot, holler, smile and wave as long as we stayed a healthy and respectable distance away.     

There were plenty of eggs for everyone in the 0-2 age bracket. 

Dispite hundreds of little eggs of fun all over the ground we should have anticipated Cole's reaction after seeing his encounter with the Easter Bunny.  Cole cried if I sat him down, threw the eggs and wanted nothing to do with his basket once the Easter egg hunt began.  Our little fun hater. 

Holding an egg long enough to take a picture is the most hunting Cole was willing to do.  Maybe when we search for eggs at the house tomorrow Cole will be more willing to participate.  :)
