Happy Easter!

We had a fun Easter this year. Holidays get more fun as Landon gets older. Our church playgroup had a little Easter egg hunt. I wasn't sure if Landon would fully understand, but he got so excited when he found an easter egg to put in the bag.

Here are the kids all lined up ready to go!































Landon had so much fun with all his little friends. Here is Jackson, his very best friend. They gave each other a hug when they saw each other but I missed it. So cute.














And one of Landon's only little girl friends, Madi! And what a little girl she is! Landon figured out that the eggs had candy inside them at this point!














Landon and Mack. (Landon eating his 4th piece of candy...oh dear!)














Look what the Easter Bunny brought us!














Landon got some paint, stickers, a tractor book, a tractor, a lizard,a chocolate doggy and lot's of yummy candy from the Easter bunny. He was quite excited. The Easter bunny also hid some easter eggs in our living room and dining room for him to find. (Tradition in my house growing up.)














Heck, even the grass inside the basket was exciting! I think I was picking it up around the house all day long.














We had to dye some Easter eggs although it was quite a messy experience and I have never seen uglier eggs in my life! Landon enjoyed putting the eggs in multiple cups to mix it up. We had lovely puke green and brownish orange eggs! Pretty!














Oh my gosh...this was the best! There is a man who lives in our neighborhood who enjoys dressing up for all the major holidays. He saw us in our backyard so he came over and asked if he could give Landon a bag of Easter goodies. Landon was fascinated by the giant bunny. While talking to him Landon snuck benind him and squeezed his tail. It made us all laugh. When the man left, Landon looked so sad and concerned. "All gone Easter bunny", he said as he waved his little hand in the direction that he left.

oooh what a cutie! Kids are so much fun as they start to understand a little of what is going on with the holidays! :) I'm glad the weather seemed good for you guys there, we didn't do an Easter egg hunt this year due to Old Man Winter being a party pooper :P Glad you got to though!

That's awesome! I might have to borrow his costume for next year. :) I'm glad Landon got a kick out of it too. So cute.

I loved reading this! And talk about a surprise ending- I've never seen a bunny quite like that one before...
