Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter everybody! Owen's second Easter and we had a lot of fun. :)

On Friday Owen's daycare class had some festivities. An egg hunt and a special snacks time. I was able to go. It was raining, so the egg hunt had to be indoors. I discovered that Owen was more intersted in exploring what was inside the egg than collecting the eggs. Still, I managed to help him scoop up about 10 eggs or so.

Saturday we attended the El Dorado Hills community Easter egg hunt with our friends the Tribbles and Ariel's sister and her family. We also saw our friends the Carillos there (another family from our lamaze class).

There was a magician - which Owen didn't really understand. Then we took pictures with the Easter Bunny. Owen would give Mr. Bunny a high-five, but forget allowing the bunny any closer than that. What made this cuter is that after we left the bunny we asked if he enjoyed meeting him, and Owen said, "yup," and then wanted to go back and look at him.

The egg hunt was chaos of course. Owen only got two eggs because he kept opening them to see what was inside first. But after the egg hunt part was done, another area had Hershey's kisses to find. He really enjoyed that - got tons.

We went to our church service Saturday evening where we bumped into and then sat with several other friends and their kids. Then Robbie, Owen, and I went to a nice sushi dinner afterwards. No I did not eat any raw fish. And yes, this is a non-traditional Easter dinner. :)

Today to celebrate Easter, Owen got his Easter basket. He was thrilled that the Easter Bunny had brought him this great basket of candy (we hardly ever give him candy). He also enjoyed opening cards and presents from us and his grandparents. Then he had a great time doing an egg hunt in our living room for little chocolate eggs. As soon as he saw them he knew exactly what to do - finding each one and putting it in his basket. He enjoyed it so much, we repeated it again in the playroom upstairs by request later on.

We also got him to say "Happy Easter" to both sets of grandparents when we called. Too cute. We had a wonderful Easter this year! We hope you also had a wonderful Easter!!!
