Hoppy Easter!!

Easter weekend was a lot of fun this year. Although Miss Lindsey is still too young to join in the festivities, Rye is much more aware of the traditions and activities regarding Easter. He did a great job of painting Easter eggs this year (only broke the shells on about 3 of them), was extremely excited to see the Easter bunny (on several occasions), and had a great time hunting for eggs in the front yard!

The challenge for us is to make Easter baskets for the kids that aren't focused on candy. Even the grandparents joined in and made sure we had healthy (but fun) gifts for the kids. Lindsey is still a little too young (though she still got some fun things), but Rye's baskets were loaded with great snacks - pretzles and crackers with cheese dip, goldfish, dried fruit, all natural fruit strips and animal crackers.  Beyond that, he got some fun toys too - a mini golfing set, fart putty, a slinky and much more. The Easter bunny was very kind this year!
