How adorable is Jake!!?

Today, we went on our 3rd annual Easter Egg hunt sponsored by Chris' work. This is the first year that Jake actually understood what to do. He was sooooooooo excited! And what do you know... the boy asked to go to the bathroom, and when he was gone, they did the egg hunt.
Darn. I was so disappointed.

He got back and asked me, with a sad look, "Momma, where did all the eggs go?" I told him that we'd go and see if there were any left... So, we walked around, but we didn't see any... Until, two other people saw the sad look on Jake's face (and I'm sure the horrified look on mine...) and these SWEET people took some of their eggs, which they had already gathered, and threw them out in the grass for Jake!!!

I was in awe and shock at their generosity!! Jake screamed in delight and ran over and collected the newly "laid" eggs. I am so forever grateful to those people who made my son's day. (It renews my belief that there are kind, good hearted people out there.....)

The rest of the morning was awesome. We sat down on a blanket and relaxed for a little bit, while enjoying the beautiful weather. There was a slight breeze, but nothing too bad. Jake opened all of his eggs and found the little gifts inside.

Afterwards, we stopped by Jake's preschool for their "Spring Fling" party. We got to walk around and play games, go in the jumpy house, enjoy a snow cone, and mingle. Jake's favorite game was this pretend "fishing" game.

Gosh, all this Easter fun, and Easter isn't even till next weekend! I guess we get to celebrate double! I can't wait to make the boys' Easter baskets this week while I am off of work for Spring Break. All of our family memories are so much fun because Jake actually "gets" what is going on now.

Happy early Easter!
