Easter 2010

Yes, we did celebrate Easter. I'm embarrassed that this is over one week old. We didn't dye any Easter eggs this year because, well, I got back from Utah late Wednesday night, and had a birthday to get ready for as well as all the regular stuff that you have to do when you get back from a trip. Ok ok, I guess it was partly poor planning too. Then Ben was gone to dinner with the Young Men before Priesthood, then was at Priesthood until from 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. (for those of you who have the luxury of General Conference at the normal time.) So it just didn't happen. Luckily Emerson didn't know the difference.

It was like pulling teeth to get him to find the eggs. The Easter Bunny only hid a dozen, but you would've thought there were hundreds by how long it took. I made the mistake of showing him what was inside the eggs thinking it would motivate him to look a little harder, but I was wrong.

Instead he insisted on sampling a piece of candy from each egg he found so you can imagine how fast it went.

Then after we had found the eggs, he figured out that if he threw the eggs against the couch, they would eventually break open and he would no longer need Mom and Dad to open them for him and decide how much candy he could have. Clever boy.

Yes, I...I mean the Easter Bunny, hid the basket in the bathroom on the toilet. After the rate of finding the eggs, I was glad it was in such an obvious place.

Lucky duck got a kite in his basket. We decided it was a good Sunday activity and he loved it.

Ben quickly figured out that you can't let a 2-year-old hold a kite string by himself, so he tied it around his waist first and then let him hold it.

He thinks he's so freakin' cool.

Mom was even fun too!
