A highlight of this Easter Sunday was Ellie’s Easter egg Hunt, the photographic recording of which I shared with Dillon, who, in this first
set made the pictures of the scene on the paving stones, while I produced the closer views.
Her Dada photographed Ellie finding the egg balanced on top of the wooden toadstools; I pictured her searching in the grass for the treat she knocked off, Dillon’s replacement, and our great granddaughter holding her trophy.
Here is another find being placed in Becky’s bag;
and Ellie’s excitement at another find;
the first of these investigating her bag with Jackie is mine, the second, Dillon’s.
I had to hide one, in plain sight as with all the others, among her favourite feathered friends.
Dillon pictured Granny, GramGram, and Ellie; I made the final image.
This afternoon I watched the Women’s Six Nations rugby match between Ireland and Italy.
Ian having joined us last night, this evening we all dined at Lal Quilla, where we enjoyed the usual splendid food with friendly, efficient service, and drank Kingfisher, Diet Coke, J20, and water. Where else would you expect a manager to greet Ellie with “Popadoms and mango chutney?”.
Oh, sweet! What fun for the whole family. I remember years ago you did a similar hunt for a niece (grand niece?) and how excited she was.
Grand niece, Laurie. And before that grandchildren. Thanks very much
Wonderful memories created.
Thank you for sharing your family day with us! Ellie looks like she’s having the time of her life. The Easter eggs were chocolate?
Yes, chocolate, Liz. Your comments much appreciated
🙂
Making happy memories 🙂
Thank you very much, Rosaliene
And what dear little tot wouldn’t love finding Chocolate Easter eggs!? How sweet. xx
Thank you so much, Joy
She looks like the perfect age for an Easter egg hunt. She’s almost two, right? Her colors are Easter perfect.
19 months, Pat. Thank you very much
The final image of the young family is wonderful and so are the rest of the pictures. Ellie’s excitement made me smile.
What a wonderful day. I remember when my younger daughter went looking for eggs. She became more adept as the years went by.
Thank you very much, John
Adorable! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks very much, Leslie
A quality hunt beautifully recorded.
Thank you very much, Tootlepedal
There’s nothing more fun than an egg hunt — for everyone, hiders and seekers.
So true, Linda. Thanks very much
Ellie looks like she is having a great time. Such lasting and precious memories.
Thank you very much, Eugi
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Too much cuteness for one blog.
Thank you very much, Flow
This is so wonderful! ❤️????????????
Ah, the thrill of the chase, Derrick … humbug, no chocolate Easter-eggs Ivor … they off my diet …
Thanks very much, Ivor
Oh how nice! And I love that little sweater – so pretty!
Thank you so much, Barbara. Becky knitted the sweater
Delightful photos! I especially love the excited find and the family shot with Flo, Dillon, Ellie. I’m reminded of Easter Egg hunts my parents put on for my children. Wonderful memories!
Thank you so much, JoAnna
Such fun.
Thank you very much, Chrissy
Kids (and adults) love Easter Egg hunts. Ellie looked very appreciative.
A splendid Easter egg hunt journal. Where were the other two kids?
They will be having one together next Friday. Thanks very much, Rupali
The joy on Ellie’s face says it all!
Egg Hunts are always fun!
So wonderful of you to capture the memories on film for Ellie!

Thanks very much, Doug
Ellie is so so cute! What a wonderful and exciting day! Seems that you had a beautiful Easter 🙂 The manager knows his way with Ellie 🙂
Thank you so much, Riba. He does
What a dash of sweetness and joy this post is, Derrick. I can these photos printed and kept in a dedicated album. Thank you for sharing the joy. It sounds like your dinner was delicious and delightful, too.
Thank you so much, Merril
I love the excitement when tiny kids first learn how to “hunt.”
Thanks very much, Elizabeth
What a fabulous set of Easter images. I’m sure you all had a wonderful time with your tiny tot.
Our little youngsters were with the in-laws this year. It made a change to spend the day with adult ones instead.
Thank you very much, Sue
Thank u for sharing your Easter with us! I miss those days of grandkids here searching for the “hidden in plain sight” eggs!!
Thanks very much, Jan
These are priceless photos of the egg hunt! Ellie looks so cute in her own pastel Easter colors. She is such a joyous child! I love her expressions.
I remember being in an Easter egg hunt as a child, discovering one egg when I accidentally sat on it. The hunt was inside due to snow that year, and one of the eggs had been hidden under a seat cushion.
Thanks very much, Lavinia.. A good memory
Looks like a fun time.
Thanks very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
A lovely set of photos Derrick. Ellie had a wonderful time out there.
Thank you very much, Aletta
Her excitement in the one picture melted my heart! I miss these days!
Thank you very much, Diane
Adorable set of photos of adorable Ellie.
Thank you very much, Dolly
