Easter Fun!

At 18 months, Morgan was old enough this year to understand a little bit about Easter. We went to my parents' house for the weekend and Morgan got to participate in her first Easter egg hunt! She caught on right away and didn't seem to notice that we kept taking eggs out of her basket and re-hiding them! She got so excited about all those eggs that she would shake them and bang them together with her goofy mouth face - it was pretty funny. Fotunately, she isn't old enough to realize that Mom ate her candy, but next year may be a little different. She had the most fun with her cousins, Noah and Avery (aka "No No" and "Avewy"), admiring those big kids and how fast they ran around. Avery held her by the hand, playing with her, and loved having Morgan sit on her lap (although Morgan probably weighs nearly what she does!) Morgan was drawn to Noah as well, having fun tickling and playing on the floor. He also fascinated her with bubbles and helped her blow her own bubbles in a very sweet way (see the video below). Morgan is very lucky to have such curious and fun cousins!Morgan also got time with her other cousins - dogs, that is. Aunt Kay and Uncle Hans came for Easter so she got to play ball and watch squirrels with Sophie and Luna. They are the gentlest dogs and Morgan gets such a kick out of them. It was a fun weekend with lots of family time. Now that Morgan is old enough to remember people and places, it was so fun to hear her say the names of her extended family and recognize them and all the good memories she has with them so far in her life.
