Easter

My parents were here the week leading up to Easter so they were able to help color easter eggs. I'm not sure who had more fun -Caiden or my Dad. We started by trying to get Caiden to use the little egg holder used to dip the eggs but that was quickly replaced by his fingers. He loved dropping the eggs in all the different colors. We had a few good spills and splashes but that comes with the territory of letting a two year old color eggs! He was really into it and wanted me to pull them out of the fridge so he could look at them quite a few times.

Since my parents were leaving on Saturday afternoon we did a hunt on Saturday morning. We hid the colored easter eggs and filled plastic eggs with money and jelly beans all over the backyard. After breakfast we told him the Easter bunny visited and he took one look out the window and spotted a couple eggs and got so excited to go out. He could immediately tell when he shook it if it was jelly beans or money inside. When he would find one with jelly beans he would immediately open it and eat one and then go around and give everyone else one as well. He was on such a sugar high for a few hours. Of course he was equally excited to fill his piggy bank with all the money he was collecting. He would say, "We need to put the monies back in my basket!" It was so fun watching the excitement on his face when he would find one. He would always go to my Dad to tell him he found another one and my Dad would point him in the direction of more. And then my Dad would take the one he just found and hide it again...this went on for a good 30 minutes.

Marc's mom came in town on Easter Sunday and she brought more plastic eggs with 2 dollar bills inside. After his nap we told him the easter bunny visited him again and he had so much fun dragging Fery around as he found his eggs. Fery did the same thing as my Dad -as soon as he was on to the next egg she would hide the one he just found. I love grandparents!
