Easter and Egg Hunts

Xander had a fine time this Easter. We visited some of Chris's family on Saturday and they had a small egg hunt for Xander in a couple of rooms. I hadn't really thought about Xander hunting for eggs because he gets so easily distracted, but he got the idea and found them pretty easily (when he wasn't running over to the television and poking buttons). Afterward, Chris sat down with Xander and opened the eggs, which Xander took to right away. Putting the eggs back together was more difficult.

We visited my parents for Easter Sunday. In the afternoon we drove over to my grandma's house where there was a small hunt set up in the side yard. Xander remembered what to do right away and took off to the first egg. He also remembered that the eggs opened so promptly tried to open it. "Oh, those are taped shut, he can't get them open," said Great-Grandma as Xander popped it open. So a basket was brought out for Xander to put the eggs in and Chris helped keep the little guy on task.

When all of the eggs were found, there were celebratory high fives all around.


And the eggs were toted back and opened. Only two or three gave him trouble with the tape.


We were allowed to keep some of the eggs to have some more hunts around the house and the fun can continue.
