Fairwinds Easter Egg Hunt 2011

Every year, Fairwinds, the retirement community where we work, holds a big Easter Egg Hunt and brunch. Jaxon attended last year, but he didn't quite get the idea of picking up the eggs. This year, however was a much different story. The festivities happened to be on my 32nd birthday, so we had a great time starting off the day with this fun time with family. Jaxon had a very good time picking up the eggs and putting them in his basket - although he gave most of them away to the other kids, he's very generous :-) He wasn't scared at all of the Easter Bunny, he even helped the Easter Bunny hand out his candy, again he is very helpful and generous! Here are a few photos from that morning.

There were over 900 eggs hidden. This was the toddler room. We usually hold the event outside, but it was pouring down rain on this day, so it was held indoors instead.

Meeting the Easter Bunny. Jaxon kept trying to give the Easter Bunny his basket, guess he thought he needed two!


Helping the Easter Bunny hand out his candy. The funny thing was, that Jaxon would take big handfulls of candy and would then walk it around and give it to all the kids that were waiting for the egg hunt to start. He never even put one piece in his own basket - just gave it out to others!

Hunting for eggs!

Then he found a ball in the gym, which looked like more fun to play with (next year he will realize that the eggs have candy and prize tickets in them, so I'm sure he will be more interested in the eggs)!
