I love how the any type of holiday gets better and better as your kids get older and older (well I only can say that as far as 3 years go). Easter was fun last year, but even better this year. She also grasped the Easter Bunny concept a lot better. And we were also able to explain the real meaning of Easter and and focus on Christ. And since we decided to bless Boston on Easter as well, it made the whole weekend really special.
She was never really scared of the Easter Bunny, but this year she was even a little warmer to our gigantic furry friend. She loves anything stuffed, so I think she was pretty excited about taking her picture with him.
We went Saturday morning to the WISC Easter Egg Hunt. It was pretty exciting and kind of competive which made it really funny to watch. They divided the soccer fields by age (to make it fair) and then when they gave the okay, the kids were allowed to go wild. No parents were allowed on the field, so we coached her from the sidelines. Adam gave her an aggressive and strategic prep talk.
Then we headed over to another park to have a more personalized Easter Egg hunt with some friends. This was the hunting gang, all lined up and ready to go.
She had so much fun at this one, which was less competitive.
All dressed for Easter and ready to be blessed.
So Adam and I are not traditional people as everyone knows, so the thought of just an all white blessing outfit didn't seem right. We wanted a pop of personality. So we came up with the idea to make a bow tie from one of Adam's favorite old ties from his mission. It was super easy to make, and since we love bow ties, I figure I better learn since I'm sure he will be sportin' lots of them.
Oh I could eat up his cuteness. Love this little man. His smile is so contagious.
All blessed and happy as can be :)
