Our Easter was a bit different this year. My family was out of town, so we had a very low key Easter at home, just the three of us. On Saturday we took Cooper to the Hiller Aviation Museum to see the Easter Bunny arrive by helicopter!
Wow! What an entrance! Also-what is that lady doing with her hands?
When the Easter Bunny got off of the chopper, the crowd swarmed around him as if he was Robert Pattinson!
Cooper got to see some trains while we were there. He liked them much better than the airplanes. Go figure.
I witnessed a car accident. It was totally her fault. Texting while driving again.
Then I fell in love with some airplane seats! I wish I could have taken a few home….
On our way out Cooper put up a good fight for this little toy airplane. Hiller Museum, thanks for making the entrance/exit to the museum through the gift shop! I know your game.
Cooper asked if we could go to the haircut place. He really just likes playing with the trains there.
So we took him for a trim. This time he was EXCELLENT!! He actually sat on the chair! All it took was a lollipop.
We went out to lunch and Cooper carried that little airplane ALL day long. It went in the bath tub & he slept with it!
We started Easter day with Orange Poppy Scones! I busted out a few from the freezer and baked them at 350F for about 10-15 minutes. They were delicious!
This morning Casey & I hid plastic eggs in our backyard at the crack of dawn. It was soo much fun!
Cooper couldn’t wait to get outside and collect the eggs.
He ran back and forth to his basket.
And begged us to open each one.
Last night I filled each egg up with either a ball, rubber frog or a monster finger puppets (all in the party section of Target).
He kept calling the finger puppets “dragons.”
And had a FIT whenever we put them on our fingers! Haha!
We hid the eggs all over again because Cooper wanted another round!
Then we dyed some hard boiled eggs. I only had 5 in the fridge, but that’s all we needed!
Cooper thought we were painting!
I LOVED how they turned out! Brown eggs make for a much deeper/richer colored egg!
If you haven’t already noticed, I’m not a big fan of pastel colors.
Casey wanted deviled eggs, so he made some. I helped out a little but it was all him. He loves them. I do not.
Nope. No mayo up in there. Just Greek yogurt with a whole LOT of secret ingredients.
We played in the backyard and went for a long scenic drive after nap time. When we came home, I made a delicious Easter dinner for the three of us. We had grilled chicken, roasted potatoes & asparagus. It got me super excited for grill season!
So that was our Easter weekend. Now I’m off to crunch up some malted robin’s eggs over some Vanilla Bean gelato & watch a movie.
Happy Easter!
