Yesterday was so much fun! I've always enjoyed Easter for both the religious based and fictional based aspect of it. This year was a little different because I was able to see it through the eyes of my son. From his watching of Veggie Tales 'Twas the night before Easter' to actually getting into his Easter basket or his attempt at helping color eggs.
He will be seven months old later this week and Christmas time, with the gifts and all weren't the most exciting for him. In fact, he slept through most of our family's gift exchange and besides the lights that twinkled on the tree, he really wasn't interested. So this was the first time for 'gifts' that he really participated in. He was even able to get the Easter eggs opened and found two new camo print binkies inside.
Later in the day, since he isn't quite running around yet - we took him outside for some pictures and to play with some bubbles. His level of fascination with everything is so amazing to watch and it's almost like learning everything all over again. He also watched intently as we colored eggs and even made an attempt at coloring one himself (with help of course).
We didn't go anywhere and no one came here for Easter, it was just our little family enjoying an easy going day of family time. I love days like this, because often it seems like we are running too many places and trying to do too much stuff and we end up not getting that quality time together.
