the hunt is on

so, adella's first easter egg hunt... i'll just skip right to the pictures. you want me to do what? an egg-laying bunny? trying to help, i said, "hey adella - look up here!" i guess she didn't see that i was pointing to the porch and not the sky. this may look like a happy sugary smile, but she is actually about to spit the jelly bean right out of her mouth. adella didn't like the jelly beans! can you believe it? she put the first one in her mouth and just as she was saying, "yummy," a shiver ran through her body and she made a 'yucky' face and spit the jelly bean out. then she gave it to me to eat. this was the biggest shocker of the day. maybe the raisins would have been a better idea after all... she ended up giving me and stig every single jelly bean. and because i like to model good 'trying the things you're not sure about eating' technique, i ate every one that she gave me. ugh. i'm happy to report that adella is quickly becoming an egg-hunting pro. and the little bears inside the eggs were a huge hit. she's been sorting them into their color-coded cups, lining them up, and putting them back into their eggs and re-hiding them, then re-finding them, and re-living the magic all over again.
