Easter

We went down to Pearland to celebrate Easter. We decided to do it on Saturday because it was suppose to rain on Sunday. We had a fantastic dinner of brisket, mashed potatoes, bread, corn and lots of yummy deserts. After dinner, the dads and older kids went out to hide the easter eggs and baskets. The tradition is to hide the baskets and they can't pick up any eggs until they find their baskets. I hid Spencer's basket up in a tree.






Tarren got his basket right in front because he is still little. He loved his basket and everything in it. He would pull out one thing and play with it then pull out the next. He only picked up one egg and then put it in his mouth.





After the egg hunt is done, they bring out the confetti eggs. It is fun to try and avoid being hit. No one is immune...not even Tarren. The confetti gets everywhere. It goes down your pants and sometimes you won't find it till hours later. I found some hiding in Tarren's diaper later that night. It is fun to smash the eggs, but it is a pain trying to get all of it out of your clothes.



On Monday, Spencer put a tire swing up in the tree in our front yard. It is fun to swing in. You can actually go pretty high. The first time Spencer pushed me I went so high my legs got scraped up in the tree branches. Spencer trimmed the tree so that won't happen any more. Tarren loves to swing in the tire swing.








Tarren is starting to walk a little better with help. He is using his walking wagon more. He is also standing up on his own without holding on to things. It is only for like 15 seconds, but it is something.
