Easter

Simon didn't sleep well after a day full of Easter egg hunts and it didn't even have anything to do with candy, because he didn't eat any. So the Easter bunny had to wait and come to our house while we were at church. So after church Simon got to see his Easter basket (which was overstuffed with random things we pulled out from our Easter decorations box and the stuff he got from daycare in a little tin. Then Simon went outside and found all the eggs that were hidden in the backyard. He had so much fun finding them all and he actually found almost all of them without any help. Daddy helped him reach the high ones though!

Exploring the basket

Not even staged. Brian was showing Simon the different things in his basket and as he held up this chocolate bunny, Simon just went in to try and eat it! It was hilarious and I was so glad I had the camera ready even if it is blurry!

The egg hunt begins

Oh, I see another one...

He knocked it backwards as he was trying to get it down.

So pleased with his basket full of eggs

Simon got these ears from daycare and ran around that night trying to put them on his head. They're pretty cute (and yes, that is his very own (dead) cell phone - but he prefers mine because it lights up...)

Opening an Easter package from Grandma & Grandpa Chapman

It had a little stuffed bunny rabbit and a plastic monkey oven mitt. He LOVES the monkey!!

Even though Easter didn't start off as well as we would have liked, it ended up being a very nice day and ended with a lamb and potato dinner that evening. Most of the eggs that were hidden for Simon were empty and he didn't care at all. He just loved finding them and putting them in his basket. After all the eggs were found we opened them inside and he was delighted to find goldfish crackers and puffs in some of them...that's his kind of treat!
