Addi's Tale of the Hunt

This morning while we were getting ready for church, Mommy spent an awful long time doing Jie Jie's hair. Wish I could have had mine curled. I guess it's because Jie Jie was singing at church. Isn't she cute?
 

Mommy told Buh-Buh get up on stage and test the mic. We have one of these at home. I've been waiting for my turn, but the big kids never want to share.
 

And now I understand why all week long mom's been singing Open the Eyes of My Heart with us. And here's my Buh-Buh's line from Jesus You Are. . .He spoke so clearly - "You willingly gave your life. . ."
 

After we had lunch, we had to hurry outside. Here's my big brother and sister waiting to go on the Hunt! Still not sure what this is all about.
 
I got to go first because I'm the smallest. . .Still not sure why.
 
Here's my sister. Not sure if she's getting ready to hike this thing or what. Not too "GRACE-ful" GRACyn!
 
My brother is on a mission. I think Mommy had a hard time trying to find all of us running around!
 
My brother means business!
 
Thank you Daddy! I needed some help and the lady I call Mommy is chasing me with a camera.
 
Like this??? Pick it up and put it in, right?
 
Whoa - needed to wear a hat today, my hair is going to blow away! Can't lose any of that. . .I barely have enough to keep my head warm.
 
I think I'm getting the hang of this. . .
 
This is kinda fun!
 
Man, I missed out last year!
 
Um, excuse me. . .that's MY basket you two are fighting over.
 
Thanks Jie Jie! Put it in here. . .I promise I'll share.
 

Hmmmm. . .wonder what's inside these things???
 
If I show you, can I keep it?
 

Hey guys, how much candy did we get?
 
Daddy, you better help. . .there's a lot here!
 

Jie Jie looks for the candy!
 

Buh-Buh looks for the money!
 

And, Buh-Buh likes to keep track of the loot.
 

So, let me see if I've this down. . .You put these things in the basket.
 

And then you pour them all out and crack them open?
 

Very interesting game here. . .
 
By golly, I think I've got it. It's all about the EGGS! So, that's why it's called an Easter EGG Hunt. Still not sure how that's tied to Jesus, but I'll just accept it for what it is.
 
Hopefully next year I'll be able to get my hair curled like Jie Jie's and get up on stage and sing. And that's my story of the Hunt.

Signing Off,
Addi
(Second Easter, First hunt, Some hair, Not enough to curl.)

Addi's hair is filling in very nicely. She's just too adorable! Lexie was not much of a hunter at 1 year. She was just happy holding the egg and didn't care that there were more out there. This year she got more eggs but was very particular about which colors she picked up.

Gracyn and Peyton are very cute! Loved Ms. G's not so "graceful" pose. She looked like she was ready to be the first one to look for eggs.

Quite a story in pictures! Love it!

I just found your blog tonight and wanted to direct you to The Sparrow Fund (www.sparrow-fund.org). We're actively looking for bloggers to post about who we are and what we're doing to get the word out to adoptive families. Let me know if you would be interested in helping!

Addi, You are adorable with or without hair. It is filling in beautifully though! It looks like your family had a wonderful Easter and Easter Egg hunt. Next year I bet you'll be crackin those eggs open all by yourself and looking for chocolate.
Love the photos of big sister and brother singing. They sure are growing up!
