Our first celebration was at the Forum with his NayNay and Great Grammy! We got there right at 2:00 (when it started) and all the eggs were gone. These kids meant business. Luckily for us, the Wallace family was there too. Tess and Mara put a couple of their eggs out for Anderson to "find" and Ginny fought off some other kids who were trying to swoop in and get them before Anderson could.
Anderson was very excited about the eggs and was even more excited when he realized that they were filled with goodies!
That was a big deal until he spotted the bunny. After that moment, it was a bunny stalking event for Anderson. That poor rabbit hugged our son a good 46 times and was a fantastic sport about it. I do have to say that I loved that Anderson was not the least bit interested in the candy the bunny was handing out; he just wanted to love on the Easter bunny!
The next celebration was a surprise! I had to go to the LaGrange Walmart to purchase items for my classroom. While we were there, Anderson spotted the Easter bunny sitting in the photo center. He went back to say hello and they told him he could get his picture taken for free. The Easter bunny invited Anderson to sit with him and then gave him his first sucker. Well, to say it was an instant hit would be an understatement. They ended up giving us two free pictures because they said Anderson was so cute!
When the pictures were finished, Anderson still wanted to sit with the Easter bunny. That poor bunny was stuck with Anderson for a solid 10 minutes. I finally said we needed to go and Anderson hesitantly said goodbye to the bunny!
Following that, Richard and I worked to make Easter cookies for the next few get togethers while Anderson napped. We had a great time and most of them turned out very well!
Richard put his own creative flare on a couple. This bunny was a victim of Richard's creativity when Richard accidentally put a beak on him. When the beak was removed, crumbs were left. Then, Richard decided to leave it because he looked like he had been maced.
The chick was also subjected to Richard's creative side when he decided to make an "Anthony Davis" chick for his sister to eat (as she is a UK fan). He used some of the extra Oreo crumbs to create the unibrow.
We had a Southwest Easter with the Garrett family and Anderson loved the Tumbleweed meal and the time with his family.
After that, we headed to his Grandma and Grandpa's house and had an egg hunt with his cousin Lilly! Aunt Janice made 36 hard boiled eggs and colored them. The eggs were hidden and then, the children were let loose! They both found a lot of eggs (we were hoping they found them all so the dogs couldn't eat them) and were happy to go through them to see what they all looked like.
It was a fantastic holiday and we had so much fun celebrating with family and meeting the Easter bunny (a couple times)!
