Easter 2012

Another Easter is in the books! This year was MUCH different than last year. Last year we had brunch with my side of the family and then met up with Gabe's side of the family in the afternoon. Jack was only about 5 months old so he had no clue what was going on around him.
This year we scaled back a little. We had breakfast here and played and then had our first Easter egg hunt in the backyard. I wasn't sure how Jack would respond to the Easter egg hunt...part of me thought he would be too distracted by everything else in the backyard to care about finding the eggs. I was completely wrong! (It did help that the Easter eggs were painted like footballs, baseballs, basketballs and soccer balls.) Jack ran all over the backyard picking up his eggs and once he realized there was treats inside the eggs then he slowed down a little to snack along the way.  :)  He successfully found all 16 eggs and then he played with his Easter present his Nana Ceci brought over. She bought him a lawnmower that blows out bubbles. (Jack is obsessed with bubbles right now.)  Jack loved the lawnmower...was anyone really surprised about that??? This is Gabe's kid we are talking about! :)
After Jack had his nap Nana Ceci came back over and we finished the day with a delicious dinner. It was the perfect way to end a beautiful day!

He got a bat that looks like a carrot...it took him 30 seconds to put the ball on the tee and hit it.


Easter egg hunt!


He found the goodies!

This is where we paused the hunt so he could eat his teddy grahams 


Jack even shared his jelly beans with Nana

Gabe showing him how to use the mower.

Jack got distracted by the bubbles. He was trying to pop them as they came out of the mower.

Finally got some family shots! Of course Jack wasn't looking...

Jack is either fist pumping Jersey Shore style or showing his muscles!
