MHBC Easter Egg Hunt

Rachel, Hannah and Hayla

Last week, our church held it's annual Easter egg hunt. I had really been looking forward to it till it started raining. So, instead of a really cool outdoor, authentic egg hunt, it ended up being held indoors. Luckily, the kids didn't care...they thought it was awesome to find eggs, even if they were right in front of them. Trent didn't care about looking for eggs this year...maybe next. Rachel was so glad she got to see some of her friends from church, and some from her preschool class last year. Bradley enjoyed tagging along with her and copying everything she did. Right after the hunt, the children's minister called all the kids and their parents to one side of the gym for a little evangelism and a prize giveaway. The kids all sat on the floor, and Rachel and Bradley sat together with some of Rachel's friends. Bradley was so excited about being with all the kids. I was just getting a kick out of watching him from across the gym. Every time the minister asked the kids a question, the kids would yell out a unified response, except Bradley. Example: Did everybody have a good time? Kids: YES!!; about a second later, Bradley would answer, "YES!" It was hilarious, because he was so excited about being part of the group (which were all ages from 2-8) but he was so busy looking around and watching other kids, he wasn't really paying that much attention. It made me excited about him starting Pre-K next year, where he'll get to have his own class, his own friends and his own time, out of the shadow of his precious big sister. We can't wait to see how our sweet Bradley blossoms on his own! Anyway, the egg hunt was fun, the kids got plenty of goodies and it was a sweet time with our church family.
