Egg Hunt!

A very big and essential Walker Easter tradition is the annual cousin/grandparent Easter Egg Hunt. Everyone gets 15 small eggs and 1 big egg (to be turned in at the end for a PRIZE!) with their name on them. The challenge is to find your eggs without letting others know where theirs are (no moving eggs, though!). The parents hide and once you become a parent, you move from a searcher to a hider. I always loved the searching part, but the hiding can be quite fun too (think: all of Katie's eggs go as high as Chris can climb ;) or this year, Rachel's are all hidden impossibly hard to test the dedication and perseverance of her boyfriend who we're all meeting for the first time ;)).
Last year Evie was a little young to truly enjoy the end hunt. This year, however, she loved it. I think mostly because she thought the eggs were little balls. ;) She LOVED collecting little balls in her brightly decorated bag! I'm enjoying this stage because she doesn't realize yet that the real prize is inside - Nathan and I still get all the contents. ;)
