After last year's Easter egg hunt being rained out, we were particularly excited for Ben to be able to participate this year. For the week leading up to Easter (and the minutes before the hunt started), we were talking strategy.
Ben did great at the beginning, but quickly got distracted by the candy inside the eggs and let all the children around him scoop up the remaining eggs while he examined his loot.
After coming home and taking a nap, we let Ben hunt for his Easter basket. He required a little help, but was so excited to spot the basket behind the curtain. (Update: For the next several weeks, he pulled back the curtain and asked, "My bakis? My bakis?")
Having grandparents that live a block away usually means twice the fun. As soon as Ben went through his basket at our house, we went to Gramma and Grampa's for another egg/basket hunt and a yummy Easter dinner.
"Jeeeezzee is wizzin" is about all we could get out of Ben this year, but we are excited to continue to talk about the real reason we celebrate Easter in the years to come!
