One of the perks of being a Firefighting family is that we have odd hours of operation. You work M-F and have weekends/holidays off? We (yes WE...I work too) work odd days but generally have those mid-week days off and are sometimes lucky enough to score a holiday off. This has not been our year when it comes to holidays...so it shouldn't surprise anyone that Justin had to work this Easter. I didn't make any big celebration plans for the kids and I (and was feeling quiet guilty about the lack of Easter Bunny-ness at our house). So while we didn't have the big ham and deviled egg dinner spread (we opted for pizza and a playdate) Jax did get to try his hand at the egg hunt at his buddy Ollie's birthday party the day previous.
Justin had to help Jax get the idea (find the eggs and LOOK they have candy!! woo hoo) but once he got it--watch out!! The child was a egg hunt focused maniac! Some of the eggs were duds, but my clever son wasn't tricked more than once...he took to finding an egg and shaking it hear the desired candy rattle before placing it into his basket. Non-rattling eggs were promptly tossed back to the ground!
He and his BGGF (best girl-gendered friend) Taylor-or Tayer- sat together and shared each other's loot!
Which worked out perfectly...she only likes chocolate and he eats everything! ;-)
Camren and her buddies had their own play time while the mobile kids ran around. Brooklynn (in the pink shirt) and Cam have an on going battle...it's a race to see who can grab the other's face and plant a very open mouth, very slobbery "kiss" on the other. Generally Brooklynn-who's 2 mo older-wins...but this day Cam struck first!
Brooklynn (who is Taylor's little sis) gets her retaliation.
And while it was a fun day and a great celebration is was decided that Next year NO MATTER what...the Easter Bunny will be finding Jax and Camren...where ever they will be! Hope you all had a Happy Easter!
