Easter weekend fun

Lots of family time hanging out at our house this weekend. Little bit of Easter festivities. Highlights include:

Saturday - Eli & I baked sugar cookies. He helped mix them, roll the dough and cut the cookies. After nap we put icing on them although Eli was much more interested in the icing itself (with sprinkles who could resist?!) than putting it on the cookies.

Sunday - of course, the Easter bunny stopped by and left Eli a yellow bucket full of goodies. Eli's favorite color is yellow and the practical Easter bunny must have come to our side of town. The bucket was full of filled plastic eggs and lots of toys and goodies. Favorites included a bunny on a tricycle, sidewalk chalk and chocolate kisses (Mommy's boy!). We didn't really do an egg hunt as Eli wasn't too interested in the first one at school but he did have fun kicking the plastic eggs around the house and trying to shoot them into his basketball hoop.

Sunday afternoon we walked to Carol & Ryan's house so Eli could play with Ry-Ry. He had been asking for Ry-Ry all day Saturday and Sunday and whenever he was upstairs, he wanted to see pictures of Ryan on the computer. They ran around outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Such good buds.

Other than that, pretty calm around here. Eli has been doing well in his big boy bed. He said bye to the crib very easily and hasn't so much as walked back to it. We're looking forward to Easter next year when Eli will be more into the traditions. Hope everyone had a great holiday and spent quality time with family and friends.
