My parents went back east to visit my grandparents for Easter and so we all celebrated a week early with a really nice dinner. Grandma and Papa were very cute and had a little plastic easter egg hunt set up for LT in the basement. LT was very excited about it and carried the basket down the stairs. He found the first egg, and that was it. He was on to other things, like riding the Thomas train (always a favorite of his and my parents).
After the Thomas riding excitement wore off we helped him look for more eggs and he was interested again for a few minutes opening them (mom had filled them with coins, another favorite!)
They also "hid" a few little toys, like a motorized "Percy", which LT still plays with daily.
And... finally, an excellent dinner. LTs salad was specially prepared to look like a dog or a rabbit, depending on how one's artistic eye sees things. Needless to say, it was very cute and LT gobbled it right up. The salad course was followed by a ham, quiche, sweet potatoes, fruit, cheese and best of all a delicious apple cake! Neither Brian or I remember LT falling asleep in the car at night in over a year, possibly since he was less than 4 months, but he must have been in a food coma because not long after we got on the highway to head home, he was passed out in his carseat. It was a great start to the Easter holiday!
