Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend celebration started off with an egg hunt, visit with the Easter Bunny and games on the base. The day before, the Easter Bunny had left Tyler a bunny bag to put his Easter candy in. He met up with his friend, Yanni, and they each collected up a bag full of goody filled eggs left on the field. Afterward, we headed over to the tent of games and a family photo with the Easter Bunny. We were thankful that it wasn't as hot as last's year's event.

The next day was Easter Sunday. Last year, it was a school day and Tyler actually had to go to school as the school mostly follows the Muslim holiday schedule, however this year it fell during the start of Spring Break. Tyler woke up very early as usual. We instructed him the night before to wait until the sunrise, at least, before waking us up. LOL We went downstairs together and the first thing Tyler found was a chocolate bunny. Then he discovered that the Easter Bunny left him a brand new bike, which was good because his old bike was getting way too small. When I first saw the bike I thought there would be noway that he would be able to ride it. It looked huge, but Dad assured me it wouldn't take him long at all to get the hang of it and he was exactly right. We took him across the street later in the day and after a few attempts, he mastered it perfectly!!
Getting back to the morning candy hunt, the Easter Bunny left him gummy fruit snacks along with the chocolate bunny and bike. Since it was Easter, I made us bunny pancakes for breakfast.
