Easter
(This is an 'archival' post from April 2010.)
In addition to delaying our tree-planting by a week, we also delayed our celebration of Easter. Anders doesn't know any better yet, and all of Corinne's family would be present. I guess the Easter Bunny got our message about the postponement, too, since he left several baskets of goodies hidden around our yard.
The Easter Bunny brought some interesting things for Anders this year. First of all, he didn't bring very much candy. Instead, he brought Annie's Cheddar Bunnies inside plastic eggs. Apparently he didn't see the irony of giving out snack crackers shaped like bunnies. Anders loves those crackers, and so do his parents.
His baskets were mostly filled with toys and other play items: Playmobil animal figures; animal magnets; a new set of animal flash cards; a knit frog hat; and the book "Little Blue Truck Paves the Way", the sequel to one of his favorite books.
The Easter Bunny brought deliveries from Seattle containing more treats: chocolate bunny, more books, and a stuffed Westie dog (which he refers to as "cat").
It took some significant coaching on the part of his parents for Anders to actually find any of the baskets - or more accurately, I guess it was more a problem of motivation than anything else. It is a weird concept, after all.
It was great to have so many family members there to enjoy it with us!
