I really should call this Easter Ben's first Easter since last year he had no idea what was going on. We stopped by the Walmart parking lot egg hunt in Eagle Point and it lasted less than 10 mins. Basically it was a free for all with kids carrying huge baskets of all the eggs they could carry. Ben was a little overwhelmed and didn't get the point. It's much more fun to take the eggs OUT than to put them in the basket.
Then we headed to our branch party egg hunt and piñata party. A sister asked me and another girl to put it on last minute and it turned out really nice I think. We had food, eggs, and 3 piñatas (including our homemade one). Ben had the most fun with his friends.
