Easter 2010 (original title, I know)

When Eric was little the Easter Bunny that visited their house didn't just leave an Easter basket...he left a TREASURE HUNT (yes, in all capital letters - this was a very big deal)! Easter was a day full of fun surprises for Eric and it's a tradition that he, I mean, the Easter Bunny, wants to continue for Davis.


On Easter Eve (not sure if there is such a thing) I had grand ideas of what our Easter egg coloring activity would be like. Then I remembered that Davis is 2. And, the idea of my 2 year old being responsible for permanent egg color in my kitchen put an end to my grandiose ideas. The new plan: I colored the eggs and he decorated them with sports sticker. Perfect!


Easter morning started bring and early (like all mornings in the May house) with a treasure hunt and and an Easter egg hunt. After our leisurely morning at home (with our traditional breakfast of Ebelskiver pancakes) we went to Mimi and Pa-Pow's house (Eric's parents) - where the Easter Bunny had also paid a visit. Boy, the Easter Bunny must have heard that he's been a very good boy over the last year. Wait, can we use that with the Easter Bunny? Or is that just Santa?

The treasure hunt took him to "where he finds his brown shoes". The treasure? More Cars!



The biggest treasure of them all - a baseball helmet. Awesome!
