Happy Easter!

I hope all of you had as delightful an Easter as we did. Nothing is more fun than holidays with a young child. Fun fun fun!

My parents were staying in a hotel with my aunt and uncle. Aunt Mickey was incredibly cool to Andrew because...well, her name is Mickey...like the Mouse. But she is a girl. (so Andrew told me again and again). And Uncle Mark...well, he's like a distorted copy of silly Pepere. Check!

So we had Easter morning to ourselves. Due to the high winds and snow flurries, egg hunt was planned to be inside. Yea spring (note sarcasm). But Mark and Mick wanted to witness and egg hunt, so we decided to do hard boiled eggs outside and plastic eggs inside.

Plastic egg hunt ensued immediately upon awakening. Lily was still asleep (God bless her). Andrew was thrilled to find plastic army men and jelly beans inside his plastic eggs. But nothing topped the big green egg with Chick Hicks (from Cars movie) inside. He has many of the other Cars, but I've never been able to find Chick...enter Memere. Jeff and I were amazed at how easily he found eggs...Easter Bunny needs to be a bit more challenging for this boy. After eggs, Andrew discovered his basket. It wasn't quite as nice as the basket from Grandma a few days ago, but it didn't matter...he had Chick Hicks. And Peeps. Andrew was ecstatic that for ONCE, his request for candy for breakfast was agreed to. Easter rocks!

And a quick rundown of the rest of day.

-after gorging on marshmallow and jelly-bunnies, we discover Nemo/Jack dead. Jeff suggests discussing Resurrection.
-Lily awakens. She has pooped for the first time in 4 days. It is an Easter miracle! And it puts her in a much better mood.
-Easter bunny hides eggs outside too. Even though we had just witnessed how easily Andrew found plastic eggs, Easter bunny doesn't learn and hides the outside eggs even easier. Dumb bunny. Andrew finished egg hunt faster than we can snap a picture.
-The rest of the day played out kind of like Thanksgiving. Pig out. Sit around. Wish it was warmer so you could go out.
