Easter Fun

Our little "Easter Walk" tradition, where we have to find items correlated to the Easter story, was a big hit this year. Evan found all the items with out even leaving the driveway. He was very excited and insisted we keep them and put them up on the mantel. In fact a week later he is still talking about them.
thorny thistle, wood twig, dead leaf, dark mulch, round stone, live flower

They also enjoyed their Easter baskets. As long as I can pull it off I will still keep giving the practical gifts mixed into the Easter basket, Christmas stocking etc. He doesn't look like he is complaining : ) Evan had a sugar high after opening the first Easter egg. Concentrated sugar at 7am never looked better right?
We also had a great time with friends over for dinner and an Easter egg hunt. I am not sure who really has more fun with Easter egg hunts the kids or the dads.







This is Kaitlyn at 11 months. She is getting around, very quickly I might add. I turn around for one second and if the gate isn't on the stairs she is up them. She is so anxious to be running with her brother. She has 5 almost 6 teeth. She is learning her signs rapidly. She can sign "hungry", "milk", "more" and "all done". She loves animals and flipping through books. She has a cute little personality.

I love the easter walk idea. I will have to put that into our easter celebrations for next year.
