Thank You, Easter Bunny!

Thanks for all the eggs! Eggs, eggs, and more eggs!

Even before the easter weekend, tyson was deep into the eggs... he's been a regular little chef in the kitchen lately. His latest creation was a quiche. I cracked the eggs and delivered to him the ingredients and he added them into the bowl and whisked like a pro!




We started our Easter weekend with a LONG drive to Southern California. It wasn't too bad, but I think we'll be flying the next time we take a trip to LA. tyson's just not as content as he use to be riding in the back seat of the car and looking at the scenery between snoozes. We did stop along the way for some fun, and even happened upon a nice woman with a little pot-bellied pig gassing up her horse trailer at one of the million pumps along the 5!







It was worth the trip when we finally got to Fullerton to visit Auntie T and Unckie Mike. We had a low-key evening with them - and Mandy, Dixie, and Buddy. Tyson got on great with the dogs, and like his mother, tried his best to win Buddy over (we were unsuccessful yet again).




On Saturday we took a fun trip with Tonia to the Fullerton Arboretum where I got to enjoy a talk on backyard orchards and the Tysons got to enjoy tromping around the grounds.




Later on Saturday, we made our way over to Grandma Mary's house where tyson re-discovered his love for Connect Four!



Then Aunt Mo came by with all the supplies to dye us up some Easter Eggs! Some beautiful eggs were created and barely a mess was made.














Aunt Mo and Funckle Kenny came by on Sunday morning for an Easter Egg Hunt! They brought some plastic eggs filled with candy and coins and Kenny and Tyson hid them (sort of) in the front yard. tyson was thrilled to find all the fun colored eggs and was flapping his arms with egg-citement (sorry)! It was so great to see him running around from egg to egg, collecting them as fast as he could. I was impressed that not only did he find all the eggs, but he also put the plastic eggs and the hard-boiled eggs into separate collection baskets!








After eating some of the candy tyson found and having Easter dinner with grandma, we headed over to our friend Mona's house for yet another easter egg hunt! I didn't get pictures of the hunt, but did manage to snap some of the pretty girls who were there...

Yes, thank you, Easter Bunny for a great weekend!
