Happy Easter

On Easter Sunday, Connor woke up to an Easter basket filled with goodies. The Easter bunny brought him a new "See n' Say", puzzle, and Play-Doh. Connor loved the See n' Say - he immediately knew how to pull the handle to hear the animal sounds. He also loved the empty plastic Easter eggs in his basket as well - they make for fun toys!

For Easter dinner, we headed up to Tewksbury to Mimi and Papa's house. Before dinner the annual tradition of the Estee Easter Egg Hunt continued - only this time it was Joey and Heather versus Paige and Connor. Needless to say, Paige and Connor won 13 eggs to 2. Granted, Paige had an inside scoop on where the eggs were hidden, but still. Connor loved the colorful eggs and kept trying to take them out of the basket. Throwing the eggs was also a lot of fun for him!

After the egg hunt, Connor opened his Easter basket from Mimi and Papa - he was very happy to receive two trucks, which he walked around with for most of the afternoon. For dinner, we had a very yummy dinner of ham, potatoes, and lots of veggies. Connor was most interested in the desserts during a little Ms. Spider to keep him entertained while the adults ate.

Paige and Connor were the highlight of the day as they played after dinner. Connor found Paige's baton, and that was his toy of choice after that (after all, it is like a big, giant stick!). They chased each other around the house, all the while Connor kept holding that baton. Every now and then they would stop and Connor would give Paige a big hug. At one point, we asked Connor to say "Paige" and he DID! It was very clear, and we have an entire family of witnesses. After he said it, we all started clapping. Connor saw this, put down his baton, and began clapping himself. But now every time we say "Paige", he sits and claps! It's very cute. Eventually he'll understand that "Paige" doesn't mean "clap".

All in all we had a wonderful holiday - enjoy the pics!

You can tell by the smile he was having a wonderful time!



Lots of hugs for cousin Paige.

I believe he bonked her on the head with the baton right after this was taken.
