Emmett Easter Egg Hunt

Here's some pictures from the 2nd annual Emmett Easter Egg Hunt on March 31st.  Last year's hunt benefited baby Emmett Rubus who had a rare liver disease (update...he is well and didn't end up needing a transplant because of Young Living Essential Oils!!).  This year's hunt went to benefit Roxy Nelson who had a recurrence of cancer that was hitting hard.  Roxy is the grandmother to my cousin Wendey's kids.  Unfortunately, she passed away a couple of days before the benefit.  Still, the benefit was a huge success and tons of fun!  They had planned for so much more than last year.  They had carnival games, basketball, bouncy house, sno-cones, popcorn, pictures with the Easter Bunny, hair extensions, crafts, hamburger/hot dog lunch, cake walk, face painting, and tons of donated raffle prizes.  Adam missed the hunt because of work, but showed up in time to have lunch with us.

Best friends Soren and Kade.  Even though they are 1.5 years apart, they just can't get enough of each other!

Overfilled...

All finished

Tina, Rena, and Tembir (Bible study girlfriends) did face painting at the event. Grace (Rena's daughter) and Synnove pose with pretty faces.

Synnove was beyond excited to get a REAL purple hair extension like so many of her friends.  All for a good cause I guess :)
