He has risen!

Happy Easter!  I hope everyone enjoyed their day.

The Easter bunny was pretty nice to Braedon this year, especially if you ask him.

Braedon is obsessed with the movie Cars and has most of the characters from the movie.  However, he had lost Lightening McQueen when we were at my mom’s house and didn’t have Mac (the big truck you see in the picture) yet, so those were the new additions.  The Easter bunny may have had a little fun last night setting up the scene and making Mac and Lightening feel welcome.  Braedon thought it was pretty cool too.  He was so excited this morning when he walked into the living room and saw this set up!  I have to say holidays are getting a lot more fun since Braedon has started to get excited about things. 

 

He also had another Easter egg hunt this morning and found all the eggs.  This time he randomly started saying where the eggs were hidden and busted out with about four new words this morning.  So the kid can talk.  All it takes is hiding Easter eggs and chocolate, and he did have his fair share of chocolate before 8 am.

It was pretty funny to watch because he was so excited about his new Car’s toys but he was also excited about finding Easter eggs that he ended up going back and forth from finding an egg to playing.  He has pretty much played with Mac and Lightening all day today.  He went down for his nap saying, “Mac” and woke up saying it as well.  I also might add that his nap was rather short.  Coincidence?  I think not.

Yesterday, Braedon also “helped” me decorate Easter eggs.  After he tried to take a bite out of one and break one over the table, he finally got the idea and helped put stickers on them.  Even though it was pretty eventful and messy at times, it was nice having my little guy there to help me with this fun tradition.
