Happy Easter!

Though April showers were in effect, we still got to have a fun Easter Egg Hunt outside. Austin wasn't so sure why he was finding colorful eggs around the front yard, but that didn't stop him from collecting them all and carrying them around in his little basket! We continued the tradition of brunch at our friend Jenn's house where she never disappoints for a yummy feast on Easter Sunday. The point of Easter for all of us is to enjoy the Easter Bunny and all he brings along with him (colorful eggs, good coffee, sometimes a mimosa or two...). This year he brought marshmallows in the eggs, and whereas Austin usually does not hesitate to share anything with "Mike" he didn't give up even one marshmallow!

I'm posting a picture of Austin's basket to show that
1. Austin received NO candy from us at all!
2. Those sock puppets, the ones that Chris and I left to make until the night before Easter, took almost 2 HOURS to make! It was Chris' first time hand sewing, and it brought back bleary eyed memories of me finishing crafts on Christmas Eve. They turned out really cute though, and I think once the distraction of all Easter colors fade away Austin will be able to settle down and have a lot of fun playing with them!

Other items in the basket were board books, sticker books, bath toys, plastic eggs, an electric toothbrush, and a Mr. Potato Head. The kid made out on Easter as Jenn had books and blocks for him and mom had made him some really cute stuffed felt eggs to go in his little felt basket. I'm thinking that we will need a forklift to leave next year with two litle munchkins to spoil!
