It’s that time of year, when eggs of every shape and size start popping up everywhere.  On March 20th, the SNOMOMs group held their annual easter egg hunt for all their members.  This was Nicholas and Dexter’s first time socializing with a big group of twins, and their first time hunting for eggs.

OK, maybe not their first time.  Joel prepped the boys the day before and the morning off.  He got out their Halloween baskets (you’ve got to have something to put eggs in and we hadn’t bought Easter baskets yet), hid empty plastic eggs, and encouraged the boys to find eggs.   So, by the time the official event started, Nicholas and Dexter were pros.  They picked up eggs and the majority of the time, put them in their baskets.  A few times the eggs were picked up and discarded for being not quite right.  You couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful day in which to find eggs.

Katie cheats and points an egg out to Nicholas in order to get the ball rolling

Dad said there was an egg around here somewhere…..

Nicky gets his basket in order

And climbs the stairs…..

Hmmmm – is it safe?

Dexter gives up the hunt once he finds the biggest egg around – a rubber BALL!

Driving a car, with my ball – what could be better?

Road trip!

Back in the car – what fun we had. Thanks SNOMOMS!
