Easter Weekend April 23-24, 2011


Madeline had three egg hunts this holiday! Pretty good for it just being her second Easter. Saturday we went to Jackson's coworker's son's 1st birthday party. They did a egg hunt for the kids in the backyard. There was a parachute, bubbles and a bouncy ride-on horse.
On Easter, we went to Truckee for a delicious potluck brunch with our friends and their family. It was a cold and wet day. So Madeline and Landon did an indoor egg hunt. Landon was fairly interested in the process of putting the eggs in his basket. Madeline would then take his eggs, put them into her own basket and of course dump them out.
The real highlight of the day was going into the barn to meet Birdie and Cowboy, Chris's parents' horses. Madeline squealed with delight, played shy at first and then reached her hand out for the horses to nuzzle. Cowboy is 25 years old and toothless. He happily took the opportunity to gum Maddie's hand a little. It was too cute! On the way home she slept like a baby.
