Easter

It is so fun to have a kid who is old enough to actually participate in holiday traditions! We hit up quite a few Easter celebrations this year around. The first was a community Easter Egg Hunt at the park down the street. 

He tore things up in the toddler zone and was shocked and amazed when he realized candy was inside

Contrary to this facial expression, he ADORED his Mater tattoo. He talked to it frequently and enjoyed making his little Mater "jump" and "go fast" for a few days until it wore off. 

Wind blown streamers = perfect for making little boys giggle

He liked the Easter Bunny from a distance. But was uncertain about going up close. 

Very uncertain.

Later that week, we went to story time. Surprise, there was an Easter Bunny there too!

He was again quite dubious about whether the big bunny was safe to approach.
He was also dubious about the hat. It was taken off, ripped up, and put in the trash can right after this picture was taken. 

A couple days later we had an unofficial Ward Easter Egg Hunt/Potluck where more candy was obtained, but no pictures were taken. 

 We decided to do our Easter Day stuff after church because we have 9:00 am church, and also because we forgot to set anything up the night before. So we put out his Easter basket while he took his nap. It consisted of the Easter Egg dye kit and a few Easter eggs from the last hunt that we managed to squirrel away before he emptied them all. 

He was extremely entertained by "giving eggs bath!"
