Brycen’s First Easter

Easter Sunday marked Brycen’s last first holiday. It was weird celebrating his last first holiday after he turned one instead of before he turned one. Our Easter was so great. Brycen went to his first egg hunt, we spent a lot of time with family, and most importantly we were able to reflect on the sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ and the joy we are able to experience because of the Atonement.

 

We went to the Ucon egg hunt with Tyson’s parents, his brother Dustin and wife Erika, and their kids Lillie and Jack. We had a lot of fun! Only one parent was allowed beyond the fence so Tyson went with Brycen and I stayed behind the links to take pictures.

I felt a little uneasy when the announcer told the parents they weren’t allowed passed the line, only the kids could go. I thought, Good luck Brycen! Of course the parents didn’t stay behind. These little ones are just a little too young.

Brycen was pretty proud of the two toothbrushes he got at the hunt! He also got a free Arctic Circle ice cream cone coupon and some candy.

Brycen was pretty worn out by the end of the afternoon.

 

It was such a nice weekend over Easter! We took advantage and went outside to weed the flower beds. Brycen enjoyed his time outside.

But he wasn’t too sure of the grass…

Can you tell he hates it? Yes, his feet and hands are in the air and he’s balancing on his bum.

 

We woke up Easter morning to see Brycen’s Easter basket full of goodies and fun things.

He got a new pair of shoes for summer, a Hershey chocolate bunny (solid-only way to go), a bouquet of tootsie pops, some Easter eggs with candy, an Easter book, a stuffed bunny, and a new outfit.

The plastic eggs were filled with peanut M&M’s so he could shake them. He loves to shake things.

He loves his new bunny!

And the suckers.

Now we did not teach our little guy to flip people off. We got between him and the TV when “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” was on to take a picture and apparently he wasn’t too happy about it.

That’s better! He really is a sweet kid, I promise. Brycen with all his fun new things.

After church we went to Tyson’s parents’ house for an egg hunt and to celebrate Dustin’s birthday. Two of Erika’s sisters and their kids came over as well. There were eggs all over the backyard. Most of the eggs had initials on them so the kids had an equal amount. Grandma and Gramps also gave each of their grandkids a package of peeps and a chocolate bunny sucker. It was so much fun!

These girls were so cute. I loved how Kate was holding her basket!

After the hunt we went inside and went through all the baskets to make sure the kids got their own eggs.

Fun day!
