Gracie's Birthday & Easter

With Spring Break winding down, we celebrated Easter & Gracie's first birthday on Sunday.  With Luna old enough to play along, the Larson family egg hunt tradition was rekindled this year!  My dad & Uncle Ken hid over 30 eggs in our tiny backyard!  To add to the fun of the "hunt" we invited over Luna's buddies Marcus and Jada to join in the fun.  The kids had a blast and we enjoyed watching them search all over for the eggs (then go crazy with the candy they found).  We had fantastic spring weather and enjoyed spending the afternoon outside with Gracies birthday strawberry shortcake.

Eating off the chocolate bunny ears.  That's my girl!

Luna was instantly in love with the monkey Grandpa Pahl sent.  She promptly named it "Gracie Monkey"

Almost 1 year old!



What a cute pair!

Jada took the hunt very seriously 
Check out all those eggs!

Candy! Jada & Luna were all over the bowl, eating as much as they could before we could stop them

Grace & Avery were not sure what all the fuss was about


Birthday presents!
