Grand Easter Weekend!

Egg Hunt One: GG's Church





GG attends a small church and invited us to join their egg hunt on Saturday morning. Colin was the smallest by 3 years, so they gave him his own patch of grass and eggs. Gramma, Grandpa, Gramma L, GG, Momma and Dadda were all armed with cameras and helping hands. He saw the eggs as we were coming in, so he was ready to go! We were pretty surprised at how well he did. He went right for the eggs and after Momma showed him to put the eggs in his basket, he knew just what to do.

Egg Hunt Two: At Home





Later that afternoon, we decided to go ahead and have an egg hunt for him at home. Rain was forecasted for Sunday (Easter) so we went ahead with the hunt Saturday in our backyard. The same crew came over to help him out, and he had a grand time!

Easter Sunday: The Goods





Today all the Grammas and Grandpa came over for Easter lunch and to give Colin some goodies. He got an Easter basket from Gramma and Grandpa, then one from Momma and Dadda, and a third from GG. We hid them around the living room and he found them pretty quickly. Amongst other things he got a camera (toy) and telephone from Gramma and Grandpa, some Sesame Street figurines, and a cool book and sunglasses from GG. He got lots of goodies (candy!) that he took full advantage of. He's also been learning to use a spoon, so when eating some dessert with GG he had his own spoon, but that wasn't enough, so he stole her spoon too!

Happy Halloween!

We took Colin trick-or-treating to just a few houses of our neighboors last night. Gramma, Grandpa, Gramma L., and GG all came to enjoy the night with us. We decided for his first Halloween, we'd make it a family affair so we all dressed up together, even Henry got in on the action.



We bought Colin's scarecrow outfit from Babies R' Us. Mine was also store bought, but we made Brad's. The suit was poster board, the hat a spray painted funnel, and real bolts made up the buttons on the front. It was a lot of fun, and we are already looking forward to next year.

Getting ready to head out...



When we started out, Colin wasn't too sure about the whole taking the candy from a stranger thing, but he was happy that he had it! By the third house, he was all about picking his own.



It was a late night for the little scarecrow, but he loved to play with the candy. He just kept trying to get into that candy for his first taste of the forbidden food. And of course, by the end of the evening, he got his way (can you say, spoiled?) and had a taste of a tootsie pop. Orange. yum.



And so it begins!
