Easter and more Birthday fun!

Much like Dallin's birthday a week ago, Easter is a concept that is too hard for a 1 year old to understand. However, Dallin did really enjoy his Easter. He enjoyed playing with this ball he got in his Easter basket.
Ok, so the only thing in this basket for Dallin was the ball because I know he won't eat any of the candy, but a basket with just a ball looks boring. So this is more of a mom and dad easter basket.

After enjoying the morning and afternoon watching conference and relaxing at home, we went to my Grandparents house for an Easter extravaganza.
There was an egg hunt for all the younger kids. Dalllin found the perfect spot to hunt eggs.
But he seemed a little more interested in the dirt and wood pieces on the stump than the eggs. Such a boy!

We enjoyed a delicious Easter dinner with the traditional fixings, and then it was time for birthday celebrations. It was my Grandma's birthday, but she graciously shared a little bit of the celebration with Dallin.
We tried once again to let him play with and eat his cupcake.
We got the same reaction as last time. He loved squishing the cupcake with his hands, but did not try to bring it anywhere near his mouth.
His daddy helped him to put some frosting on his face, but I really don't think he liked it.
He did enjoy eating the plate the cupcake came on though.

Last of all he opened some presents from his great aunt.
He got some cute summer clothes, little baby sandals, and a mosquito repellent wristband.
And of course, his favorite present was the one he could put in his mouth.

I love those pictures of him eating the cupcake. He's just so tiny and cute. It was a fun day.

I love the Easter egg shots. I especially love it when he stopped to analyze a woodchip. It looks like he is either wondering about the chemical composition of the woodchip, or he is wondering how this all fits into Heavenly Father's plan. Maybe both.

What a fun easter/birthday eggstavaganza! It was so cute watching him moosh up his cupcake. I think there might have been a wee bit of frosting on the plate he was sucking on. Progress!!

He looks so manly in that tie! It looks like he had a fun Easter. I love that he puts paper and cardboard into his mouth, but not cupcake. Maybe you could get him a cardboard shaped cupcake?

He looks so cute in his Easter pictures. I love him holding the Easter eggs. However I think my favorite picture is the one with his head back roaring about his unhappiness when Mckay smeared frosting on his face. (Bad Mckay!--just kidding...)

Wish I could have been there.
