Easter 2009

We were going to get Jared a bike for Christmas but postponed it because we didn't want to get it to and back from Idaho and decided he wouldn't be able to ride it much until spring so we waited for Easter. We first got and assembled a 16" bike for him but it was wayt too big so we took it back and got a 12" bike which is perfect for him. He was really slow at first but by Monday he was ready to ride it outside. The rate at which he started I thought it'd take him a lot longer to get a hang of it but he did great and is loving it. Spencer loves his trike and just sits as we push him. He can reach one foot at a time to the pedal so he's not quite ready for the pedaling but it's a perfect transition trike for him cause we can take the push handle off when he's ready. Later we dyed eggs and the boys had a blast with that as well.
The next morning they did their mini egg hunt. Chris' family grew up where they had the main candy in the baskets and little candy was strewn about. My family we hid the basket with everything inside. So we did a combo of both. In the morning we did Chris' family's version and in the afternoon we hid a basket with a picnic lunch in it (along with the sweets we always had a picnic lunch as well in my family). Below is a clip of the morning hunt. When we heard the boys wake up I quickly made them oatmeal and fed it to them in their room before we brought them upstairs. Good thinking on my part, they stuffed their faces with candy!
