Easter

The day before Easter, we went to some friends' house for an egg hunt.  There were quite a few kids and hundreds of eggs.
 We didn't practice first, but Dallin caught on pretty quickly.
And he loved it!
 Easter egg hunts are perfect for Dallin. Collecting small things and putting them in baskets are his favorite activities!
We were in a big backyard with chickens running around and baby chicks too, so the kids had a lot of fun.

 On Easter Sunday, we had to be at church early to practice with the choir for our big Easter performance, so we didn't do any Easter festivities until the afternoon, 
and after Mckay and Connor took a nap.

I hid Dallin's Easter basket in the backyard. He had to follow a trail of eggs to find it.
 He kind of liked it.
He picked up each egg
 and then put it in a bag.
 He found his basket hiding under a blanket.
 He didn't get any candy in his basket (The Cookie Crisp is mostly for me since I doubt he'll eat it) but he got socks! I put some inside plastic eggs to make them more exciting.

And he got a little wind up toy and a puzzle.
 The puzzle makes a track for the wind up car to drive on.

Connor got socks as well. He enjoys pulling them off his feet, putting them in his mouth and rubbing them on his gums to make way for tooth number 1.

Dallin looks very excited about his collection of eggs. And Connor looks like he's growing a lot! Where did you get that cool car track puzzle? That's a genius idea!

Dallin is good at gathering things up, so I'm sure hunting Easter Eggs is a lot of fun for him. He is just such a happy little guy. I love that about him. Mckay and Connor look pretty comfy taking their nap. I'm glad you guys had a nice Easter.

What a fun time on Easter. I love it when Dallin tries to get the wind up car to go again.
