Easter Basket(s)

We didn't make any particular plans for Easter this year. And since Anders is a bit young for an Easter egg hunt, we stuck to the more sedate tradition of the Easter basket, though with a twist.

The "basket" that Corinne got for Anders was filled with cloth fruits: banana, watermelon, pear, and grapes. These are to go with the vegetables that he already had: beans, carrot, mushroom and tomato. We figure it's never too early to start your kids eating fruits and vegetables!

Debbie, Darrell and Zak also gave Anders a basket for Easter complete with a card from Zak. In the middle of the basket was a Thunder egg that they picked up somewhere in Eastern Oregon. It is a geode-like rock formed by volcanic activity. I guess Corinne must not have been in the room when Debbie described it, because it was several days before she picked it up and realized that it wasn't chocolate.

It seems that Anders didn't quite know what to make of the "Easter grass" in the basket; he was very interested in it but would make a horrible face each time he picked some up.

Next year he'll probably be old enough for an egg hunt (with some help, no doubt.)
