Santa Barbara Easter: The Great Egg Hunt

After church we gathered at Satya's house because someone mentioned that the Bunny had come while we were gone.

First, we were forced to take a few photos

And while we waited for the rain to pass, we enjoyed a bit of chocolate.

Finally, we were able to head out and hunt for eggs.

All in all, we had a wonderful Easter weekend in Santa Barbara - full of fun, family, food, gratitude... and lots of candy!

Easter morning 2010

Here is our morning in photos ...

The Bunny came overnight ... here is what he brought before he hid these goodies around the house:


Mia is the first up and enjoys some quiet time with her balloon from the Easter Bunny


Satya and Luke wake up and start hunting for baskets and treats from the Bunny ... Luke finds a basket full of goodies and a t-ball set!



Mia gets her first pair of sunglasses in her Easter basket


Brunch and the rest of the family arrive - Mia and Grandma hang out inside during the (cold) outdoor egg hunt


The egg hunt is on ... Luke loves looking for eggs, and eventually employs Paw to carry around his basket because it gets too heavy!

Satya picks up the most cleverly hidden egg by scaling the swing set! She is so sweet to Luke and even adds some of her findings to his basket.

Back inside after the hunt, Satya swings Mia to sleep...

...and the dogs are released out back - Luke wishes he could jump in and roll around with them!


Thankfully, Uncle Todd joins in the fun out back and quenches Luke's desire for chaos as everyone, dogs included, have a wild party in Luke's fort

By the time everyone leaves, Mia is asleep, Luke is asleep, and Mommy and Daddy wish they were alseep!
