Once we were home, Mimi and Papa had to head back home and the kids all took a nap. They needed to rest up for some egg hunting that afternoon. When all of the kids were up, we headed over to Marmie and JT's house for an egg hunting adventure. (The kids had been waiting ALL day for this, and needless to say, they were really excited!)
The hunt began as soon as we got there, because the kids couldn't wait any longer. Berkley was off in no time, searching for eggs to fill her basket.
Beckham was right behind her searching for his treasures.
Brenner ran out after them, excited to be on his first official egg hunt.
Berkley and Beckham needed little assistance this year. They had no problems finding their eggs on their own.
Once Daddy showed Brenner where to put his eggs, he began to understand the game.
He searched hard for some eggs of his own.
He didn't want to miss a spot. He was taking this hunting very seriously. (Not surprising coming from Brenner!)
In no time Berkley had filled up her basket.
Beckham's basket was pretty full too as he surveyed the yard one last time for any eggs that might have been overlooked.
Brenner inspected his basketful too.
He was ready to get into those eggs! (But of course, mommy had to have some pictures first! What?!)
On the way over to our "photo shoot" Beckham had a slight injury.
Brenner got up to check out his brother's boo-boo.
Something was going to have to be done to cheer up Beckham before we tried to take any pictures. Daddy stepped in and got him smiling again!
Of course, it didn't last long. And Brenner was pretty upset that no one was letting him check out his basketful of goodies. Berkley was tempted to look in her eggs too.
Once we got Berkley's attention, she tried to help out a little with Brenner. But, of course, Beckham still hadn't recovered from his injury.
Slowly we began to at least get everyone's attention and even a smile from Berkley! Things were looking up. 
Of course, once we got Beckham back to his silly little self, Brenner had already decided his "photo shoot" was over.
Slowly we began to at least get everyone's attention and even a smile from Berkley! Things were looking up. Of course, once we got Beckham back to his silly little self, Brenner had already decided his "photo shoot" was over.Even though Brenner had split, I still felt the need to try for more pictures. Beckham seemed to be thinking, "You've got to be kidding me! You're still snapping away?"
And sweet Berkley was trying her best to flash her big smile and add a little pose of her own. Maybe when all of the kids are a little older I'll be able to get some good pictures!
I have come to find that it is almost impossible right now to get a good photo of ALL three children at the same time, and if it does happen it is usually by mistake! But still I press on and push through a "photo shoot" any chance I can... basically torturing my little b's.
Despite the torturous "photo shoot" our Easter was wonderful. Mostly it was so wonderful, because of the amazing and unbelievable event that we were celebrating. That our God loves us so much that He sent His one and only son to die for us, to rid us of our ugly sin, so that we may have eternal life. Of course, the story doesn't stop there! Death had no hold on Him. He is risen and sits at the right hand of our God, the Father; waiting for those who believe in Him and have accepted Him, to join Him one day at His throne. Now that is something to celebrate!!!
