While it's already been a week since Easter, I thought I should post with some of the fun things we did this year. Jacob absolutely loved all of the Easter decorations we put up around the house and couldn't stop talking about the Easter bunny! We made sure to read lots of books to get us in the spirit as well!
Each year, we attend the Eggstravaganza that our church hosts. This year, we were lucky enough to go with not only Mim and Poppa, but also cousins Sam and Levi! Jacob doesn't get to see these cousins often, but there is this unexplainable bond he has with them. Any time he's with Sam, it's as if they've never been away! He had a great time searching for eggs, visiting the petting zoo, and enjoying the various bounce houses and slides!
This came after a big scare we had... as he was climbing up to the top he lost his footing and rolled back down the ladder portion. It was almost as if it was in slow motion, we were soo very thankful that he didn't truly get hurt (we were afraid a limb or even his head would be caught in the ladder) and he stayed true to form and just turned around, scrambled back up the ladder and came sliding down!Of course, we were up bright and early on Easter morning, Jacob just could not wait to see what the Easter bunny had left him! He got some new tub toys, playdough tools, books, a movie and a pteranadon from Dinosaur Train among other things. Next, it was time to search for the eggs the Easter bunny had hidden around the house!
After getting all ready, we headed to church with Mim, Poppa, Uncle Scott, Auntie Nikki and cousins Sam and Levi. Jacob loved being able to go to Sunday School with Levi! Later, we went back to Mim and Poppa's house, where the Easter bunny had left a second Easter basket! Then, we headed to The Tribute where we met up with Uncle Andy, Auntie Catherine, and cousins Drew, Ben, and Brady for another Easter egg hunt and brunch.
