Easter

Perpetuating the myth that all holidays are a week long, Easter week kept Jack busy with lots of fun activities. Jack celebrated the week prior to Easter at school by making Easter Bunny ears and a basket, and the class hunted for eggs in the park next door. (CLICK HERE to see previous blog post.)

A package of goodies arrived from Lola and we are still eating our way through all the deliciousness. Jack is always thrilled to receive a letter or package and excitedly opened the package and dove right into the chocolate. I even hid his bag on top of a high shelf so we didn't have chocolate for dinner and breakfast the next day, but he noticed it and was too smart to accept my little white lie that the bag was a present for a friend. He said he was going to get his cape and become "bigger and bigger and bigger" so he could reach the chocolate.

Then on Sunday morning we had our own Easter egg hunt at home and opened his Easter basket full of books, small toys, and two of the biggest Easter hits this year: his SuperHero Starter Kit and cape (CLICK HERE to see previous blog post) and the board game CandyLand (CLICK HERE to see previous blog post). We drove up to Sacramento soon thereafter to spend the day with the cousins. There was another Easter egg hunt and bubble blowing in the warm sun of the back yard, a big meal, and a little trampoline jumping with Cousin Alie to burn it all off. Jack opened more fun Easter baskets from the family. It was a great day.
