McDonnell Egg Hunt 2016
We got to attend our favorite annual egg hunt again this year- the McDonnell Egg Hunt!And as an added bonus, we had our Aunt Patsy, Auntie Lori, and Tio Sergio in town!! Thanks so much for letting our big group join in the fun, McDonnells!! As usual, Sang did an absolutely amazing job preparing for the most fun morning!!! There was one exciting event after another, and we had a blast!
After a little catching up and a little food, it was time to for the Egg Hunt to begin! Sang had the wall of egg-hunters set up, with a picture of the kids with the type of egg they would be hunting below. Each kid had 20 eggs of a certain type to find all over the McDonnell front yard (only Ellie and Charley had less since they were the youngest hunters!). 16 hunters in all!
Sang explained the rules to the kids.... When she announced that Evan was hunting football eggs, he yelled, "YES!!!!" It was so cute!
And then we sat them on the stairs and took advantage of their excitement by bribing them for a picture! It's amazing what you can get kids to do when there is an Easter Egg Hunt at stake!! Haha!
Ellie actually caught on to the egg hunting pretty quickly! She didn't get the color-specific thing, but she loved grabbing them and putting them in her basket!

And after they found all their eggs, they ran to a blanket and looked through their eggs to find the prizes inside.
Auntie Lori helped Evan open up his eggs and check out his prizes!
All the kindergarteners of next year (Six kids) got to go search for 6 golden eggs. All had money in them, but ONE egg had $5 and the rest had $1. Six kids went out and each got to find one egg... and LJ found the big winning $5 Egg!!!! Here he is holding his winner!!!
I love LJ's air shot!! This is such a happy day for us!!!
My beautiful Godmother with Ellie and me!!
Liz brought a real bunny, her pet Waffles, to the party! The kids were obsessed!
Such a sweet and patient bunny!!
And then it was time for a quick confetti egg hunt ... these went quickly!!!
This is the face you see right before getting a confetti egg smashed on your head by LJ!!
OMG- some pictures just melt my heart!
Time for the raw egg toss competition! Barrett partnered up with another guy at the party... and they were the big winners!!! Yay Barrett!! No egg yolk on these two!
They probably got about 50 feet apart when they won!
Running hug from LJ- he was proud of his dad!!!
Hi five to the winner from Ben and LJ!
And Evan need to show his love too!
Sweet friends for so long! I love these kids!
Thanks for another (the 4th!!) wonderful egg hunt McDonnells!!!! Loved it!
