Easter Sunday

For Easter Sunday, we joined my parents for mass, brunch and dinner. Christopher was so good during mass and really was a trooper. We had an amazing brunch in Carmel after which we went back to their house so Christopher could take his nap. 2 hours, later we started him on a mini egg hunt and basket time.

Yes, the hat made a repeat performance. Like I said, he loved it. He also loved the tie. Go figure.

We had a great Easter. Christopher has enough candy for a while! Luckily, he doesn't get much so he doesn't have a big craving for it.

Easter Egg Hunt (Saturday)

The Saturday before Easter we took Christopher to his first Easter Egg hunt. It was... interesting... well the parents were. It was great. They had the hunts broken into groups, Christopher's was the 0-2 group. However, since they are obviously still so young, the parents go with them. And when I say "go" I mean the majority of the parents are dragging their poor children and piling these plastic eggs into their easter bags and at some times grocery bags. It was insane. At one point, I just picked Christopher up, ran past the crowd to a free spot with eggs and just hunkered down over them so he had a few he could get. The bottom line was he loved it, he had fun and that's all that mattered. Plus he looked adorable, see?

I didn't know if he would, but he LOVED the hat :)

He kept pointing to the ballons that would get loose

Bubu kisses... my favorite.

Christopher had one of the best views

The Easter sugar high begins

This is the only photos we got with one of the characters.

Christopher loved them from a distance yet didn't want to get near them. We got this photo then he looked up, saw who it was and started backing up, quickly.

We had a great time and Christopher loved it.

BBQ with Friends

Two Friday's ago our friends the Colby's came over for dinner. We bbq'd hamburgers. First burgers of the season. They were sooo good and the boys played so well together. I brought out the tee-ball set and Christopher just had fun retrieving the ball while Leo hit it.

The hardest was teaching Christopher to stay back. Behind Leo so he didn't get hit. So we'd tell him to stand under the tree. It worked. Love this photo of him.

Christopher makes a great golden retriever :)

The man and the grill.

Kite Flying

That weekend (two weeks ago), we decided to try to take Christopher's kite out to see if we could have fun. We got it up a bit, enough for Christopher to enjoy it.

Pooh! (As Christopher kept shouting)

Yeah, it wasn't much, but Christopher enjoyed it.
