Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Like last year, we drove down to Montgomery on the Saturday before Easter to go to the annual Inscoe egg hunt. It’s a fun time for all and a great opportunity for Robert to see lots of high school friends. Thankfully Maxwell mastered his boot-leg walking on Friday before we left so we didn’t have to carry him all day. Once we got there (with only a 20 minute nap in the car) he didn’t stop for one second. He was practically running all over the yard. I have to say it – he looked pretty darn cute limping around in his seersucker and black boot! As my mom keeps saying, “bless his little heart!”

While he was roaming around a majority of the time, he did stop for a minute to take in the scene from this good vantage point…

**please also notice that Maxwell has a cookie in his hand in every single picture! sweet tooth!

Maxwell was glad to see all of his family like Lulu…

and Aunt Jenny. He was so excited to see Jenny that he ran right up to her and gave her a high 5!

Jenny totally got into the occasion and rocked an Easter bonnet…with all the frills upon it!

Maxwell was gearing up for the hunt by carrying his “bag” around with him all afternoon…

And when it came time for the hunt, Maxwell instinctively knew exactly what to do! He got out there and starting putting those candy eggs in his Easter basket just like he had done it 100 times. And he did it all with a cookie in one hand to boot! This boy’s got skills…

After collecting his eggs, he had to sit down and check out his loot…

I think he was pleased with his haul and promptly dumped all of his eggs out onto the ground only to pick them all back up again! I know his hair looks red in those pics but it’s really just the light.

The rest of the afternoon went great. We played with cute cousins…
