Easter

Once again we went to our church's Easter egg hunt the day before Easter. It was fun to see how much Jordan has changed since last year! All week I have been preparing Jordan for this and have been telling him that he has to put the eggs in his basket really fast. I said this because last year he only put one egg in his basket and spent the rest of the time studying the eggs. I soon realized that Jordan has grown up quite a bit since last year! The first thing Jordan said when I went to get him out of his crib in the morning was, "Go on Easter egg hunt now!" Since he's an early riser, he had quite a bit of time to wait until we could leave for church. Once the hunt started, I realized that Jordan really took my advice to heart. He seemed totally oblivious of all the action around him as he focused on putting as many eggs in his basket as he could. I think he probably had close to 15 eggs in his basket in less than 5 minutes! Here is Jordan getting ready to go on the Easter egg hunt. He woke up at 6:30 on Saturday and we didn't leave for church until 9:30. It was a long 3 hours because he kept asking every few minutes, "Go on egg hunt now?"


Here is Jordan looking up at his pink balloon. About 5 minutes after this picture was taken, Jordan let go of the balloon and it flew off into the sky. Luckily for him, our pastor saw it all happen and quickly found another balloon for him. But even today, 2 days later, Jordan said, "Jordie sad about balloon going in sky."

We invited our neighbors along. The last picture we have of Jordan and Reily holding hands was taken on Halloween. Reily was eating a sucker in that picture too!


This isn't the best picture because you can't see Jordan's face, but you can see all the eggs he is putting in his basket.

Jordan was pretty excited when we opened all the eggs and found candy inside!

On Sunday we went to church for Easter and Jordan thought we were going on another Easter egg hunt! He turned out to be a pretty lucky boy. Of course we didn't have another egg hunt at church but my parents set up a little egg hunt for him in their backyard. They also bought him a tee ball set for Easter. He was conflicted then because he couldn't decide if he would rather hunt for eggs or play with his tee ball set.

Jordan was very interested in seeing how Grandpa put the tee ball set together.
