Happy Easter!

We had a fantastic Easter weekend! On Saturday we took Dawson to a couple Easter egg hunts around town. We were unsure how he would do or if he would understand but once Chad showed him to put the first egg in his basket he was on the hunt.

Walking proudly with his basket full of eggs.

We went to the next Easter egg hunt because they had the Easter Bunny there-but Dawson was scared of him. He clenched on to me so tight that I had to sit in on the picture with him. Of course, right when we walked away all he did was point and say "go" because he wanted to go back to the bunny. We stayed for the hunt (despite a little rain) and Dawson was the proud owner of another Easter basket full of goodies.

Then Saturday night Dawson went to Grandma Gartner's to dye Easter eggs. Sorry, no pics but he did a great job!

Easter morning we had Dawson look around the house to find his basket. He found it very quickly considering I put it at his favorite spot in the house-under his tool bench.

Look at that snarl as he piles M&Ms in his mouth.

At least he's holding his new electric toothbrush.

Later that afternoon we went to Mooma & Poopa's (Chad's parents) to celebrate and do Dawson's 3rd Easter egg hunt.

By this time he was a pro. The only problem...after discovering that these eggs he's picking up have candy inside them all he wants to do is open and eat rather than continue hunting.

Chad had to stand close by with the basket open to ensure he wouldn't sit there and eat all his goodies at once.

Happy Easter!
