Easter Egg Hunt

This year, Cody participated in his first Easter Egg hunt. We tried to take him when he was one, but the Easter bunny scared the beejeezeez out of him. Now that he was almost 5 we decided to try again!

We headed to Pixieland in Concord for their Annual Easter Egg Hunt.

While waiting for the train that would take us to the Egg Hunt location, the boys entertained themselves.

They enjoyed a plane ride right before it was our turn to hop on the train.

After a 1.5 hour wait (that the boys were very patient about), it was our turn for the train.

A quick ride on the train and it was Easter Egg Huntin’ time.

Cody immediately spotted the kind of scary looking bunnies (people in costume) and did not want anything to do with the egg hunt….

while DJ took off at warp speed to shake some Easter Eggs (to filter out the ones with no noise because that meant it was stickers) and find some treats.

Cody watched DJ for awhile while his dad hunted eggs for him.

Then DJ started helping him.

Then he dumped the eggs out…

Eventually, he realized that DJ was having fun so he started hunting for eggs on his own.

The colorful goodies in his basket…

Since Cody wouldn’t take a picture with the scary bunnies, I made DJ do it. Luckily, he only put up a little fight.  

Here are a couple of the boys and their Easter baskets.

Happy Easter – Just a Little Late :)

The Easter bunny was a little last minute in buying the kids gifts (like 7 pm the night before last minute) and the selection at Target was slim. Fortunately, the bunny found a few items that the kids would enjoy. The Easter Bunny needs to not come from Hawaii days before Easter or shop earlier next year. ;)

Easter morning the stealthy bunny waited until Cody woke up (at 9!) to sneak the boys’ gifts onto their beds.

The kids were excited to see what the Easter bunny left behind for them!

 

Cody is into drawing and the first thing he grabbed was the mini egg shaped Magna Doodle.

DJ, my stuffed animal fanatic, went straight for the duck (appropriately named Eggie).

Cody has always enjoyed Slinkies and thank goodness the plastic ones bounce back to shape quickly. :)

Just like his mommy, Cody is a multi-tasker. :)

Cody's 1st Easter

Here is a rare picture...me and the boys! I prefer to stay behind the camera so this is a rare shot. This is a picture from Easter.

Here is a picture of daddy and the boys from Easter:

And now pictures of the boys with their Easter gifts. DJ was so excited to see what the Easter bunny had left him.

Cody, on the other hand, did NOT really care for his Easter Dog. He posed with it, but that was the extent of his interest. Instead, he "traded" the dog with DJ for a plastic tree that came with DJ's soldier set. According to DJ, it was a fair trade!

Easter Greetings!

Cody's First Easter Egg Hunt

Today was Cody's first Easter Egg Hunt. He didn't do any hunting, but he still won a prize. :)

The poor Easter Bunny was going to lose his bow tie! Even Cody knows bow ties aren't in style unless you have a tuxedo on!
