The weekend kicked off with Jimmy’s participation in the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt with his friends.  It was a wonderful Easter weekend with family. Angie’s family from Ohio and New York came for a visit.  Aunt Elise, Uncle Fran, and Anne met Jimmy and Dunder Dog.  Johnny also had several visits with family over the Easter weekend.

The Easter Bunny even came with some goodies for both Johnny and Jimmy.  The children’s book “Duck and Goose” was the theme, complete with egg shakers (mini maracas in the shape of an egg).  After playing with the egg shakers, Jimmy was a bit confused as we were decorating the dyed eggs — these eggs did not make any music! The decorating of eggs with stickers did not last long.  Jimmy attempted multiple times to eat the stickers.  We quickly moved to the next activity.  Maybe next year we can show pictures of fully decorated eggs!

Dunder was definitely the most enthusiastic about the holiday. His excitement was solely due to an Easter egg hut with Jimmy. Plastic eggs were scattered across the living room. These eggs were filled with Dunder’s favorite – animal crackers. Dunder was very careful not to destroy the eggs and gently pawed at them until they cracked opened.

We look forward to Easter next year with both boys home!
