This year we had Easter at our
house and had a blast hosting! Anyone who knows me knows there's few things I
love to do more than throw/host a party and entertain. This year had been a
little chaotic, so there wasn't a ton of time to plan, but we pulled it off.
Easter morning, the bunny paid Eli a visit! I can't
explain in words how excited he was about this. His face lit up and he started
running around like a crazy man! After that, we colored eggs and played
with the really cool things the bunny brought for Eli (Thomas train and book,
Elmo, a bath toy and a chocolate bunny!)
Later in the day, we loved having the company of the Beard/Strauss
family at our house for dinner and lots of fun playing in the park. And because
I love planning things, I planned a little Easter egg hunt. At first the day was pretty gloomy, but the
sun came out, so I decided to hide the eggs inside and outside. I think all of the kids had fun finding the
eggs, but I’m certain Eli had fun! He wasn't sure what to do, but once he got the hang of it, he LOVED finding the
eggs. I think what he also loved was his
first taste of candy! Yep, I have put it
off for almost two years and his first taste of candy was a Starburst
jellybean. When I say first, it’s the
first to my knowledgeJ After he had put
the first piece in his mouth, he looked at me and said “Good!”. He then proceeded to run around like a crazy
man hopped up on sugar!
My beautiful nieces love Eli so
much and it’s so neat to see them interacting more and more with Eli. They pushed him on the swings at the park and
helped him go down the slidesJ I think my favorite moment from the day was
to have all three munchkins sitting at the island in our kitchen having a snack.
