Hoppy Easter!

Hoppy Easter!

Avery had a very Hoppy Easter! We started the day with lunch with GG & GT and Jon’s family. Once we got there Avery spotted in Easter basket and with some encouragement went over to investigate. He got a bat and ball, animal crackers, a book about ducklings that quacks, some clothes and sunglasses, he was very happy!

Easter Basket Time!

Sunglasses!

Having a cookie!

After lunch we hid some purple plastic Easter eggs (purple seems to be one of Avery favorite colors) for Avery to find, again with a little encouragement and guidance Avery found all five animal cracker (aka cookie) filled eggs.

Hunting Eggs

Grandma is the greatest! Cookies!

Avery fell asleep on the cross town trip to my parents house. After an hour nap Avery was ready to play. We went outside and played and played. He tried out a tricycle that I can steer from behind him (the tricycle is a little to big and Avery cannot reach the pedals) and he played in the sunshine for an hour or so before. 

So Happy to play!

After playing for awhile we went in with Avery to open a Easter basket sent from Colorado. What a lucky boy, Lee and Veronika have sent Avery a Strider, a peddle-less balance bike! Avery’s eyes lit up at the sight of it, he pointed at it and happily stated, “MoMo”, I think this would have made Lee and Veronika (motorcycle enthusiasts) very happy to hear. The seat and the handle bars are adjustable so the bike fits him perfectly! He is a little intimated by it but loves to look at it and be close to it and every now and then sit on it. He really does love it.

Look what I got!

Avery and his Strider!

He also got a Easter basket with a sprinkler, bunny puppets, tub toys and a new blue truck. After another delicious meal we again went outside, this time to find Easter eggs around the yard. 

Sherbet Cone! 

This time Avery had some company (competition) for the eggs, Avery’s cousins from up north were down to celebrate Easter. Everyone had a great time hunting for eggs and they were all found very quickly.
