Easter 2010

Easter was kind of a last minute event for us this year. Ryan's best friend passed away unexpectedly and his services were the day before Easter. Shane and I colored eggs together before the services on Saturday, but he wasn't as into it as I thought he would be. He didn't like the smell of the vinegar used in the colored dyes and wouldn't even come near the table! I had also bought him these fun little paint rollers to color the eggs with, but that was still a little too hard for him to do so he gave up pretty quickly and I colored most of them myself. It also rained on Easter this year, so we had to improvise and did our Easter Egg Hunt upstairs at Grandma's house. Shane was still sooo excited! He would point out every egg to us and wanted to make sure we saw it before he would put it in his basket.

Of course he had to line up all of his eggs.

Then I thought he would really be excited about helping us crack all the hard boiled eggs to make deviled eggs, but as soon as the first one was done he totally freaked out! He cried hysterically and wanted us to fix his egg! After that he wouldn't let the eggs leave his side. Grandma hid the eggs for him again upstairs three more times and he thought it was so much fun! Then Grandma was nice enough to let Ryan and I go to the movies to see Clash of the Titans in 3D while Shane napped. We found out that he insisted on having the eggs right next to him during nap time too! He also insisted on having them ride with him in the car on the way home. Then I had to explain to him that Easter was over and after he went to bed that night the eggs would have to go away...surprisingly he was fine with it, but he still played with the plastic eggs for days after until I finally hid them from him. I think next year I might just do plastic eggs so I don't have to worry about him carrying around real eggs all day long!!
