With this idea, this Easter season we actually celebrated together as a family. We completed the Christian traditions of attending church service, as well as the heathen traditions of an egg hunt and baskets.
I had hid eight plastic eggs obviously around the living room. Inside the eggs, I placed 1 or 2 nilla wafer cookies. By obvious, I
mean right smack in the middle of the living room rug...as well as in his shoes, on his toy box, etc. At first, Tamlin wasn't quite sure what to think of the new eggs and was a bit frighten of the chair covered in blankets (under which his basket was hid). However, once Brian showed him that (A) the egg makes noise when you shake it and (B) inside held a treat, Tam thought this was an awesome new game. With his short attention span, he found about 4 eggs in the morning.
I kept his Easter Basket simple. It was filled with a few pieces of chocolate, a chocolate bunny, nilla wafer cookies, stuffed animals from relatives, a ball, and a new truck. Three guesses as to what was Tam's favorite part of the basket... yep, the truck. However, lately the ball has been getting a bit
of use around the house as well.
The day was beautiful and unusually warm. We didn't have to put on our Easter clothes and then bundle up in winter coats to stay warm :-) Tam even got to wear his new outfit from his great-aunts.
Since Brian had to work Sunday afternoon, we had Easter dinner a day late on Monday. Yummy slow-cooked ham. Happiness and full bellies all around.
