Egg Hunt Birthday Party

Let me preface this post by saying that Mini has only been to one other birthday party other than this one while she has been able to walk; we've always been out of town or busy when we've been invited. With that said, Mini attended one of her peer's birthday party this weekend. The party was an egg hunt, and in order to make it fair, all the children lined up on the side walk and then the host said "go." Notice that Will is holding Mini...as soon as the door opened, she took off for the eggs and I had to chase her down, so Will was holding her to ensure we did not have a repeat.

Will holding her back...

And she's off!!

Mini trying to figure out if it is over!

Following the egg hunt, and Mini trying to steal an egg out of another child's basket while they were not looking, we went inside for food and presents. Mini proceeded to use this time for social hour...she visited all the parents and children and never really sat with us for more than 5 minute increments. When it was time to open presents, Mini helped the birthday girl by ripping off paper and tearing out tissue paper, which was fine because many of the other children were doing the same. Then she became "THAT" child...a box of clothes was opened, Mini proceeded to grab all the clothes and take off for the door. As soon as I got up and went after her, she immediately threw them on the floor....AHHHHHHH! So I scooped up everything, returned it to the birthday girl, and we made a run for it! So either we will not be attending anymore birthdays or we need to attend more so Mini gets more practice at NOT opening presents.
