Easter #2

We had a great Easter with Uncle Steve and Auntie Lee, and Cadence loved having them here. We ate, we hiked, we napped, and we hunted for Easter Eggs!

Auntie Mer sent Easter gifts up for Cadence, including a little wooden whistle. Cadence mastered in a very short time.

Cadence got this great easel for Christmas from Nana, but it was too big to fit in our car so he got it delivered straight to the door this past weekend. He loves it--we pulled out the chalk, the crayons, and it's likely to be a fixture in the living room for years to come.

Our friend Kim came by at the beginning of the weekend with a little backpack for Cadence. He put in his ball and a book, and won't let us take them out now, but does enjoy wearing the bag around. He also seemed keen on wearing the bunny ears that Drew bought last Easter. Our little school bunny.

Family Sesame Street time before bed.

Easter morning was lots of fun. Cadence got into finding eggs and putting them into his basket (no one told him there was chocolate under the foil. Worked for this year, but not likely to hold water again next year!)

We built up a great appetite and had Easter dinner after the hike. Cadence loved playing with Uncle Steve and Daddy--actually, I think it was a lot like having 2 of daddy.
