Easter

Moses really lucked out this year. He got 2 Easter egg hunts! We left for southern Alberta on Friday morning and got to Scott's sister Jenni's house around 6pm (Moses had to stop and go poop THREE times!). Scott and I planned to go looking for houses Saturday while Moses played with his cousins. It turned out that Great-Grandma Thomas was having an Easter egg hunt at her house that same day. So Jenni took Moses there. His cousins Brooke and Jaycee helped Moses find all the candy (thanks girls!). By the time we picked up Moses that afternoon, he was already really excited about the Easter Bunny and all the treats.

The next day we went out to Scott's brother Mark's house. We had a delicious Easter dinner and then we all went outside to roll eggs down the hill. (notice how windy it can be there in southern Alberta!) The rolling didn't last long before it was a contest to see how far you could throw your egg. Then all the kids decided to see how many eggs they could throw at Burke (notice the egg on the sleeve of his jacket). Moses just kept throwing the same egg over and over (he never threw it hard enough for it to break). He kept the same egg the entire time and even brought it inside with him. By the time it finally broke inside, he was so attached to it that he cried when he had to throw it away!

Monday we were home again and when Moses woke up from his nap, the Easter bunny had come! He loved finding the eggs all over the house. And then we came inside and he opened each egg one at a time and put the candy into a bowl. He wouldn't let Mom or Dad help him. He had so much fun with the easter thing that the next morning, the first thing that he said was, "Easter egg hunt?" He thought the Easter Bunny would come every time he went to bed!
