Easter.... already?

This weekend we did a lot of Easter celebrations with Will. Next weekend is already so busy with Easter activities, we decided to do many little home activities this weekend. On Saturday The Stewart Family came over and we had an Easter egg hunt. Unfortunatley, the weather was cold and wet, so we just had the hunt inside. They boys had a great time looking for eggs all around our house, and Will even found an egg while he was playing in his playroom last night! It was wonderful to see the excitement on their faces as they found yet another egg hidden in the middle of a room. We then decorated Easter cookies. This is one of Will's favorite activities because he likes to eat sprinkles and icing. He puts the icing on the cookie and then scrapes it off with his finger. Nathan, on the other hand, decided that he liked his cookies plain and he just wanted to put white sprinkles on them. Working with two toddlers is always fun! The boys played around the house and the adults talked until it was time for naps and Nathan had to go home. Will received his Easter present from Grandpa and Grandma that morning, so we set up the web camera and my parents got to watch him open it. He loves to read his two Easter books, play with his new little people (the dog got to go on a train ride this morning), and sleep with his Peeps yellow bunny (otherwise known as Yellow). Will took a very long nap before we headed off to church. A huge milesstone occurred at church last night - Will went to his Sunday School class without crying at all! He gave mommy and daddy a kiss goodbye and just played. His teacher said that he sat and did a lot of silent observing (very typical for Will), but he did not cry at all. His favorite thing to do at Sunday School is to eat snack. I guess he is a typical boy.



This morning we hard boiled some eggs and got out the PAAS Easter egg dying kit. Will had a great time watching the colors dissolving in the vinegar and he was very careful when placing the white egg into each color. Watching the eggs come out a different color was so amazing. He would tell us each color as it came out - and of course, he tried to do all of it himself.

We're looking forward to spending Easter with the Stone side of the family next weekend. Will is still a little scared of the Easter Bunny, but I think he'll still come to our house. I can't wait to see what he brings!
