Happy Easter!

Easter morning festivities were done in shifts this morning. Max woke up first and had breakfast while Daddy cleaned up the kitchen from the night before. We tried to keep Max in his high chair for as long as possible waiting for Owen to wake up, but you can only contain a 13 month old for so long. Finally, he got down to play. He amused himself for a while, until he spotted his Easter basket hiding in the corner. He crawled over and picked out a couple of toys. Then he spotted an Easter egg peeking out from under the coffee table. He continued to crawl around the house and found a couple of more Easter eggs in the playroom! Finally at 8:30 I decided that we needed to wake Owen up. He enjoyed his Easter egg hunt, but it took him quite awhile to find his Easter basket that was hidden underneath his train table in the toy room. He remembered how Gavin taught him to "crack" the eggs into a bowl last year and was very pleased to see M&M's fall out every time he did this! Later, we went to dinner at Shonna's parents house. They have a big Easter egg hunt every year for the kids. Lots and lots of eggs and lots and lots of prizes to go with them. Owen enjoyed this as well, Max enjoyed putting all the empty eggs back into the bin!
After the Easter egg hunt the older kids played a couple of games: balancing an egg on a spoon race, sack race, and real Easter Egg Bocce Ball!
We came home early so that Max could take a nap, since he skipped his afternoon nap with all the festivities and to just relax ourselves before we have to go back to work tomorrow!! It has been a fun and eventful spring break week. I can't wait until summer of 2011 when we will have the whole summer off as a family! My year round schedule has officially returned to nine month!:)
