Perfect Easter

We just had the most fun weekend - arrived Friday night at Nanna & Grandpa's house very excited about all of the festivities.

On Saturday morning, with rain in the forecast, we took W to the PSU Ag Arena for an animal expo - there were booths with displays from everyone from local wildlife rescue groups to little zoos. We saw bunnies, camels, horses, a TIGER, lots of birds, etc. William, of course, loved it. He decided NOT to partake in the pony rides because he didn't like the idea of the helmet that they tried to put on him. Maybe next time! He was tearing around the place, beaming, pointing, and laughing.

Later in the afternoon we headed to the country club for the nicest event - a kids' egg hunt and party. When we arrived, everyone had their own reserved table with a bucket and tons of decorating supplies to design their own egg pail. William was surprisingly very involved and interested in the stickers, easter grass, etc. Lunch and drinks were served, they had games for the older kiddos, and then the Easter Bunny himself arrived! I was so proud (and shocked) that William didn't cry or seem too scared of him. He was reserved at first, but when he got up close, he reached out to touch his nose. Our big boy!


Next we were ushered upstairs to several rooms where eggs had been hidden for the littler ones. William had a great time peeking around corners, sprinting up and down hallways, and reaching behind chairs to collect his eggs. I can't believe he really participated so much; he's just not my little baby any more! He adored the day, complete with play time out on Grandpa's golf course, and even getting to check out the golf carts, which was heaven on earth to our little "vroom" addict.


Back at home, William got to do something we've been talking about for months - ride Grandpa's tractor! Nanna & Grandpa have a huge yard, perhaps unluckily for Grandpa, but fortunately for William, who as we all know, is beyond obsessed with tractors. Every time we talk about Grandpa, he instantly says "RAC-nuh!" (William speak for tractor) and we cannot walk past the garage during our visits without spending a few minutes gawking at the John Deere parked inside.

On Sunday a.m., after William opened his gifts from the Easter Bunny (a sandbox! a water table! so excited for Summer!), we went to church, and yet again I was so proud and pleasantly surprised by our little guy's great behavior.

The McCombies came from Clarion for Easter supper and we spent a great afternoon eating, drinking, chatting, and of course having a family egg hunt for William. Uncle Andrew, Grandpa, and Pop-Pop hid the eggs and we all watched as WW happily ran around pointing at the hidden eggs, plopping them into his pail, and running to the next one, yelling "Muh! Muh!" (more).





We had so much fun with everyone and it was a perfect family holiday spent with our loved ones. We missed all of William's Great-Grandparents, of course (all in Florida!) and Uncle David, who is finishing his last month in Spain. Happy Easter, everyone!
