This year, Ryder definitely understood the concept of the Easter Egg Hunt! We decided to just have a simple one at home, rather than going to a city/community one this year - my energy tolerance is lower than normal, and we thought a crowd might overwhelm Ryder.
We started off on Easter Morning attending church at the Layton campus - our Home Group Leader's daughter, Bentley, was being dedicated. After church, we came home to have our Easter Egg Hunt!
 |
| Walking out with Patrick to find the eggs (notice the rocks for the playset weren't evened out, and the border wasn't installed yet). |
 |
| Collecting his eggs in the bucket. |
 |
| Ryder liked finding eggs, but didn't like holding the bucket himself - it slowed him down too much! |
 |
| Inspecting the egg. |
 |
| Ryder loved opening the eggs - this one was filled with balloons! |
 |
| Following our egg hunt, we went to lunch (where he was given a balloon) - Ryder rarely sleeps in the car, but between church and the egg hunt, he was worn out! |
 |
| An attempt at an Easter family picture. I can't wait until he understands the concept of a self-portrait! |
 |
| Playing on the playset. |
 |
| After dinner, Ryder had one last present to open. |
 |
| Reading his new "Toddler Bible"! |
Easter was definitely fun this year. Attending church, and the Easter Egg Hunt were the only real "traditional" things we did, but it was perfect for us! Who needs a ham dinner when you can have blueberry/raspberry pancakes instead?!

Kayleen and Patrick, this is Kari Scott (Bruderer) leaving a comment! I ran into your mom at Club Heights when I was subbing and asked if there was a way I could contact you to see how things were going. She showed me your blog. I can't believe you guys have a son. He is darling!!! And twins on the way? That is just so exciting. You both look great and very accomplished. You seem to have so much fun as a family. I can just hardly believe it and can't believe how time flies. I just wanted to say hi and hope you are both doing well. Take care!!
