Hunting for Easter Eggs





Dexy enjoyed the Easter egg hunt but had a little trouble locating the last egg (Ben and I "hid" it up on his swingset). He eventually found and retrieved it!

Coloring Easter Eggs



With a little help from Grandma and Grampy, Dexter really got into coloring Easter eggs!

Easter Bunny Enthusiasm

At Christmas, Dexter got a photo with Santa at the mall but he wasn't too sure about what was going on. I'm not sure he knew much about the Easter Bunny but when he saw the 6 foot tall bunny in the mall, he went running over and wanted to play and hug.

Turtle Sandbox

Grandma and Grampy bought Dexter an awesome turtle sandbox. We set it up Easter morning and it superseded all Easter activities until Dexter had had his fill (and was full of sand!). Grandma was an equally enthusiastic sandbox partner!

Easter Visit from Grandma and Grampy

It took me a little while to get all the videos and photos organized from Grandma and Grampy's recent visit. Dexter had a ball with them! He loved going to the airport to pick them up and drop them off, he impressed them with his ability to eat anything and everything, and LOVED playing with them. They did lots of drawing and coloring, played catch with the new ball and glove they bought him, and participated in Easter preparations like coloring eggs. My mom even showed us how to make rice krispy treats in the shape of eggs that were hollow in the middle so we could fill them with jellybeans and other little yummy candies. Dexter still talks about their visit and talks about them every time he sees an airplane.
