Duckin' it
Before our guests left, the ducks who routinely visit my parents' house came by for dinner.

We later realized that something (probably the ducks) have been nesting behind some hedges against my parents' house. Fine by them, but it was a surprise to find the nest.

Big dog
Hard to believe Sammy is technically still just a puppy, yet she's practically bigger than Ashlyn.
The hunt begins
After brunch and gifts, we returned to my parents' house for the egg hunt.
