Thank you, Easser Dunny

We had a very nice but very busy Easter today. Evan had a great day--this is the first holiday he's really been interested in so far. He's been talking about the "Easser Dunny" for the past week or so, and we've been telling him how the bunny leaves him a basket with treats and all that stuff. So he was pretty pumped to wake up this morning and find out it was all true!

Ev liked the basket he got at home, especially the snuggly little bunny and the velcro ball game. But at my mom's and my dad's, he got even better stuff--like macaroni and cheese and apple juice and "cash money"! Nothing's funnier than watching him find a bill in a card or a plastic egg and hearing him shout, "cash money! cash money!" while waving the money around in the air. Not only did he enjoy the treats when he received them, he got to enjoy them all over again when we got home tonight. As we unpacked our bags, he reacted with delight and surprise like he had forgotten seeing the stuff just a few hours before, and he couldn't believe all this was for him. He kept saying, "Wow! So cool!". I found it pretty funny.

So it was a nice day. We took our time driving up to Erie, we ate well, we visited and laughed. Now Ev has crashed hard in his bed, and I'm thinking I'll do the same before too long. We've got another busy week ahead, and I want to be ready.
