We've had a great Easter weekend. I feel like we were all able to enjoy the holiday even more now that Lincoln is old enough to participate in the festivities. I look forward with when Logan will be able to join him.
I got off work early on Friday and we had a family night. We picked up Ricky's favorite Dominoes thin crust pizza and decorated Easter eggs! It was really fun. Of course, Logan just sat and watched, Daddy took pictures and I helped Lincoln color the eggs.
Lincoln's job was to drop the eggs in the colors and then when they were done I would get them out and he would put them in the carton.
He liked that this last egg had his name on it.
Our city does a huge Egg-stravaganza event every year for Easter. They hold it on the Spring Training Baseball Fields. It includes egg hunts (done by age group) that total 50,000 eggs. I took Lincoln and Rick stayed on the side with Logan. I forgot the camera so I don't have any pictures of the egg hunt itself but Lincoln had a ton of fun running all over the field collecting treat filled eggs and candy. After it was done he wanted to examine everything he had collected in his basket.
As always, Logan was a trooper. I look forward to next year when they will both be able to collect eggs.
The city had set up another field that had a dozen bounce houses, food booths, face painting, clowns, balloons, and local businesses giving out information and goodies. Lincoln loves bounce houses. He got to go on a couple of slides and a tot obstacle course.
This morning when Lincoln woke up he immediately realized that the Easter Bunny had been to our home and left him some treats. I continued a tradition that my mom used to do by leaving a trail of eggs from our rooms to our Easter baskets. Lincoln decided that he wanted to eat the jelly beans in the eggs before he went to the next one. After a little convincing he finally followed the trail to his basket. Logan and daddy followed him. We can't ever get Lincoln to eat breakfast but he was just fine having jelly beans and Easter candy first thing in the morning. I guess that's just part of Easter.
When he got to the bottom of the stairs he yelled, "look mom, a second blue egg!" He was so excited that he didn't pick up the eggs. He ran straight to his basket and retrieved the eggs later.
The plastic eggs turned to the little chocolate eggs as he got closer to his basket.
This happy little guy was excited to play with the bath toys Grammy sent him and to pull everything else out of his basket.
When the boys woke up from their nap, we went to the backyard for an egg hunt. I had taken all the eggs that we colored and hid them in the backyard for Lincoln to find. I was so surprised how excited he was to find the eggs. He ran around the yard as fast as he could. When the basket got too heavy to carry he put it on his water table and brought the eggs back to the basket as he found them.
He thought it was cool that there was an egg in the tunnel.
After they collected all of the eggs we counted them to sure we didn't miss any. Notice Logan...this is the first time that he's ever sat up on his own. It only lasted for about 10 seconds but he did it!
Happy Easter!
