Easter 2012

Well Easter is just a lot more fun as a two year old than it was a one year old or a newborn for that matter.  Micah really got into the spirit this year and enjoyed the holiday to its fullest!  We tried to balance the commercial holiday traditions with the real reason for Easter and began reading Micah the Easter story a couple of weeks ahead of time.  Since one of his books about Christmas remains a favorite and regular bedtime story he knows about baby Jesus.  The concept of Easter proved to be a little harder to explain for his age.  He did however grasp all the fun Easter traditions this year!  We did our first Easter egg dying which was a big hit!  He also wanted to eat them, but we held off on that.  On Easter morning we got up and went to Church early.  Then when we got home The Easter bunny had come and hid all the eggs!  It didn't take him long to figure out that it was a big game of hide and seek and he did really well finding them.  He was less excited about the plastic eggs until he realized that there were candy inside!  Still to this day (at the end of June) if he sees a plastic egg he asks where the candy inside is! We finished the morning by having brunch with friends.  It was a wonderful meal and a wonderful Easter!
