Hop Goes the Bunny!

Our first holiday in our new home! That actually happened pretty quickly (a week) so the house is  not totally ready, but it worked.  In the morning we hid some plastic and real eggs for Colin to find! He remembered Will's story about the Easter Buddy, so was very excited when he woke up.   The eggs led him down the staircase through the kitchen and all the way to the backdoor; where outside on the deck was a basket (or rather  a Spider-man bucket acting as an Easter basket) waiting for him. The Easter Buddy brought Colin some exciting goodies! He got a soccer pillow, an Iron Man night-lite, two new sippy cups, and some toy instruments!  Colin is learning about instruments and can even say the word (it is a little hard to understand at first but he tries).  We are using an instrument puzzle he has to show him how you would play the different ones.  So, when he says guitar he strums his fingers across his belly and then when he says trumpet he pretends he is blowing into his hands and so forth. Super cute!  So, the Easter Buddy brought him a harmonica, a little flute thing, and a whistle.  Hopefully, mommy and daddy will not dislike the Easter Buddy after a few days!

The Easter Buddy also remembered daddy's love for cadbury eggs!  How thoughtful of that Buddy ;)

Grandma B and Uncle Michael came up to celebrate with us and to enjoy an old fashioned Sunday meal (roast beef, cooked veggies and potatoes) - Yum, yum!  This was their first time seeing the house, so it was nice that they could see it in a decent state.  We had a great time celebrating the holiday with family.  Colin really enjoyed our guest!  He started off a little grumpy after waking up from his nap, but eventually he was true to form and enjoyed showing Michael and Liz his new instruments and what all of his favorite super heroes do (like Spider-man, Hulk, etc - it is hard to explain but hopefully I be able to film it soon).   One of his new favorite shows is Super Hero Squad - he loves it! 

Hope everyone had a great Easter!
