Built our house...Now our family: Happy Easter!

Bryant's been prepping for Easter all week with projects at school and on Thursday, they had an Easter Egg Hunt. I didn't want him bringing his nice basket to school and losing it or getting it dirty, so we made a quick stop at the Dollar Store and he found a soccer ball Easter basket! He had so much fun at their school hunt and couldn't stop talking about all the candy and stickers that he got.

On Friday we met up with Grandma and Grandpa Zanto for dinner where he ate a lot of food and proclaimed he was all done. We got home with his Easter presents from Grandma and Grandpa and he grabbed his bunny cookie and said "I'm hungry for this"

Obviously not M&Ms since it was definitely melting in his hand!

Then we got ready for his friends birthday party. He picked out their presents, bags, and cards all by himself. It was funny when he woke up the next morning and saw the presents. He forgot they were for his friends and thought the Easter Bunny came early:)

We did a few practice egg hunts at home in preparation for the neighborhood hunt and realized that baskets make good hats too!

We must have wore him out with practice because when we got to the neighborhood hunt, Bryant was too shy to want to play.

It was a good thing there was over 500 eggs for the 12 or so kids because it took Bryant a long time to finally warm up and get some eggs.

And he still got a ton of stuff!

He immediately had to try his new bubbles

and kite! The wind wasn't blowing much, so we taught him how to run and fly the kite.

And then it was Easter Sunday! Bryant was so excited with his gifts from the Easter Bunny!

Elmo!!!!

He also got some fun presents from my Aunt Sheri and Uncle Carl.

I've never seen a kid get so excited for clothes before, but he LOVES this new shirt. His favorite shirt is his long-sleeve basketball shirt (see pictures from Saturday), so this will definitely be the new fave as the weather gets nicer.

He loves to hammer, so his new game from the Easter Bunny was a big hit.

After presents and breakfast, we headed to Whitehall to see Grandma and Grandpa Handl. Bryant was exhausted from his busy day on Saturday between egg hunts and birthday parties. So tired that he fell asleep in Church during the first song. He slept through children's time, but wasn't forgotten as he still got a flower like all the other kids:)

The weather was crazy - it snowed like crazy in the morning/early afternoon, so Grandpa and Bryant built a snowman. By the time we left, the snow was almost completely melted.

The weather didn't cooperate for Bryant to get to use his new kite from Grandma and Grandpa, but I'm sure he'll get to enjoy it soon enough - especially when he finds out that he doesn't have to run the whole time to make a kite fly!
