Easter: The Pregame

The evening before Easter, we went to an egg hunt… err, candy gathering, for the kids with our friends, the Ericksons.  It was hosted at their church, and essentially, every hour or so, a huge balloon full of candy, which was referred to as an “egg”, was dropped from a crane and everyone stampeded onto the lawn to fill up their buckets and paper lunch bags (think oversized Easter piñata).  It was definitely a novel idea, and I don’t think anyone minded the instant gratification.  As for our bunch, most of their candy was foraged before the egg was even dropped from the sky.  They utilized a keen hunting technique known as begging/panhandling.  Not surprisingly, they weren’t too shabby at it either.

Bella tells the grown-ups what to do… and they fall in line.

This girl reminds me of Betty Boop or Sophia Loren.  Such a starlet.
