We had a good day on Easter (aside from the rain, which moved out Easter egg hunt indoors)! First we got ready for church and Little Bubba was in a good mood!
He's a pro with the camera...always has his smile ready!
After we got home from church we ate lunch and put the little guy down for nap, but afterwards Grandma & Grandpa came over to watch him with his first ever Easter egg hunt! It's not really a "hunt" when all the eggs are sitting out in plain sight, but he's only 17 months...you make do! He got a few things in his basket, but mostly he was interested in getting the eggs!
I don't have pictures of him picking up eggs (it's on video) but he was pretty cute to watch. He REFUSED to put them in his Easter basket and would instead insist on stacking them in the corner. He go pick up an egg, then run back to his stash and add it, then run to another egg...funny guy! It was even better when he realized there was stuff inside (we used plastic eggs)...he started throwing them to watch them break open, and he thought he was quit funny.
A tradition that we started (2nd year we've done it now) is to read "In The Garden" - a children's book about the story of Easter and Christ. Mamas & Papa got it for him last Easter and we think it's a great way to focus on the real meaning and reason for Easter!
We finished the day with an awesome dinner at Grandma & Grandpa's house (Little Bubba always love going over there, and especially sitting in his very own chair they got for him!). Thanks for dinner!
