Easter Eggstraviganza 09

HAPPY EASTER!

This year we had a lot of Easter activities and festivities! All week the kids in daycare colored Easter Pictures, made an Easter Bunny mask, and on Friday we did Easter Egg hunts. I took some plastic Easter Eggs and hid them around the daycare room and Landon and Tanner would go find them. After about 3 times Landon wanted to hid the eggs and for Tanner and myself to go find them. After he hid them he said he was ready for us to search and as soon as we started searching he would pipe in "oh, here's an egg, I found one" and continue to help us in our egg search of the eggs he hid!

Friday afternoon, Maw Maw and Poppa came over to bring back the steam cleaner they borrowed and to play with Landon. Landon wanted to do a Easter Egg hunt again so Maw Maw hid them and Landon went and found them. Landon again wanted to hide them so he hid them and I went to find them, once again he helped me find them, and then he hid them for Poppa to come find them and of course had to help Poppa. He also enjoyed opening Easter Eggs that Maw Maw and Poppa brought him to see what was in them, candy and money, some of his favorite things!

On Saturday morning, Brian and I took Landon to an Easter Egg hunt in Downtown Fuquay Varina at the Fuquay Mineral Springs Inn. They have an annual Easter Egg hunt. They have it broken down by age group. 2 and under are in one part of the yard, 3-5 year olds are on another part of the lawn and 6-10 year old are across the street at the Mineral Springs Park. We went a little early because we didn't know what kind of crowd there would be, parking issues etc. Landon couldn't wait to get eggs. While we were waiting for the official start Landon could see the eggs just laying in the yard and there just happened to be one right where we were standing waiting and he picked it up and put it in his bucket.

After we did the egg hunt, we went home and played outside for a little while since it was a pretty day to be outside. Landon actually fell and scraped his knee and wanted to go inside for a little while. When we went in we decided to go ahead and dye eggs for Easter. We let Landon color on them and then we let him put them in the different colors. We only had 10 eggs and one cracked getting them out of the container we had them in in the fridge. When we were done with the 9 eggs Landon wanted to do more so I told him once he woke up from his nap he could dye some more, that would give me time to boil them and for them to cool. When he woke up he dyed 6 more eggs and he was very proud of himself!

When we finished dying the eggs we went outside to play while they dried. He decided he wanted to eat his snack out there. When he finished snack he was playing with sand in the backyard so I hid the plastic eggs in the front yard for him to come find. When he came around front and saw that there were some eggs in the yard he got all excited and was asking for his egg bucket. Once he found all of them he wanted more snack so Brian hid the eggs in the backyard while he ate snack in the garage. He enjoyed finding the eggs and asked to hide them for us to find. You have to see the pictures of when he hid the eggs, it is to funny, you can definitely tell he hid them!

We finished the day by going to get hushpuppies for dinner because that is what Landon wanted.

This Easter Morning Landon came into mine and Brian's room asking if the Easter Bunny was there. I asked if he wanted to see if the Easter Bunny came and he said yes so we got up and went out to the kitchen to see if the Easter Bunny left Landon anything in his Easter Basket and of course he did.

Hope everyone's Easter was as good as ours!
