Easter

We had a wonderful Easter! David's parents joined us for the weekend festivities. They arrived on Friday morning and went to gymnastics with us. Will loved showing off his jumping and running skills. Friday night we had dinner at the mall and saw the Easter bunny. Will had already sat on the bunny's lap so we just looked this time. He loved the bunny the first time he saw him and squealed when he saw him the second time. He actually wiggled out of David's arms so he could run up the fence around the bunny. He was terrified of Santa, so I didn't know what to expect with a large bunny, but he was so excited!


Saturday morning was the Lafayette Easter egg hunt. It was much of a hunt as it was a mad chaotic grabbing of eggs. They spray painted a white circle on the grass and everyone had to stand outside of the circle. Then they dumped plastic eggs and bags of goldfish all over the grass. Someone yelled "go!" and all the 1-2 year olds took off grabbing eggs. Will didn't really get it at first; he kept trying to open the eggs one by one. But he managed to grab a few good eggs with my help. All in all, the hunt lasted for 2 minutes. But it was so fun watching him get excited over his finds. After the hunt, we went out to lunch with some friends. It was a great day! Saturday afternoon/evening was date night for David and I. We ran errands and had Mexican food for dinner. Yum!! Not the most exciting date, but we had fun.
Sunday was Easter. We were planning on going to 8am mass, but Will was sleeping. 10am mass, he was still sleeping! He was so worn out from the pervious day's activities that he slept until 10:30am! That's unheard of in our house. So we finally made it to noon mass and came home to prepare a yummy Easter dinner. Our friends came over for dessert and a small egg hunt. Wyatt and Will had a wonderful time running around looking for eggs and being silly together.

Monday morning the Tanners left and our lives went back to normal. We are resting up for the next invasion of family in May for the Bolder Boulder.

Getting ready for the egg hunt. It was super windy so that's why he's all bundled up.
I love the Easter bunny!
On your mark, get set, go!
