Easter

Happy Easter! We do the Easter basket stuff on the Saturday before Easter in an attempt to not distract too much from the real meaning of Easter. I don't know if it works at all. Anyway, Friday night we had my brother Chris and his wife Christine over. They are going to be living in our house when we move, so everyone around here is very lucky. They weren't planning on staying over night, but by the time we finished playing games and stuff, their kids were asleep and it was late. So they just stayed. :) That meant more fun in the morning after the Easter Bunny had visited. We had to be a little creative with easter baskets, but that was no problem.

Morgan shakes the eggs and knows they hide something. He quickly figured out how to open the eggs. If we didn't watch him, he would put as much candy in his mouth as he could and devour it swiftly. He's a little candy monster. He gets that from his mom.

We wanted to get Morgan some sunglasses for Easter and all we found was a four-pack, which worked out great for sharing with Kaien and Emmy.

I got the picture moments before he took them off. He likes them, but he likes to hold them most.

All attempts at getting a picture with all the kids wearing the glasses at once was a complete failure.

Chris and Christine have a new puppy. She didn't mind the shades.

Later that day we had an Easter egg hunt at my parents house. We scattered the eggs across the lawn and sent out the toddlers with their baskets. I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly Morgan caught on. He had a blast as he hurried to an egg, picked it up, put it in his basket and moved to the next one. He acted as though he'd been doing Easter egg hunts every day of his life. When all the eggs were gathered, Morgan, with his basket of goodies in hand, walked straight inside, found a nice spot on the floor, opened an egg or two and indulged. He's so cute.
