Easter egg hunt

Posted on April 22, 2011August 30, 2022 by jenny

We’re looking forward to a big family Easter this year. Looking back at this photo, which was only taken a year ago, Edward looks so small. Now he’s a toddler stomping around, keeping me on my toes all day long.

Every year my mum puts on an Easter egg hunt for her children and grandchildren. Last year I helped Edward put the chocolate eggs in his basket and Daddy ate them. I expect this year I’ll be running around after him making sure he doesn’t pick up his cousins’ eggs. I’m hoping Daddy will eat the eggs too as, after I stupidly gave Edward some meringue the other day, I don’t want to witness another sugar rush in a hurry!

Linking up to Cafe Bebe’s flashback friday.

    OMG! He’s barely bigger than the basket! How adorable! I wholeheartedly approve of Easter Egg Hunts…and yes, supervise the chocolate ingestion! 😉

    Thanks so much for taking the time to link up. Have a very happy easter. 😉

    Ahhhhhhhhh I wasn’t following back then so this is my first time seeing him like that – cute sweetheart.
    I gave Aaron 10 grapes on Monday and he started shouting and waving his head around – first time I witnessed the effects of a sugar rush and that was only fructose.

    Sooo cute! I hope Edward and you enjoy looking for all those yummy eggs :0
    We are going on an Easter egg hunt tomorrow with Burton and his cousins, and this will be the first year he can get involved and go hunting as he couldn’t walk last Easter. X
