Yeah for Easter morning and Easter baskets. Despite having to be woken up for this treat, Joaquin quite enjoyed it. Isn't this sand toy cool? The sand trickles through the top and turns the wheels below. (Joaquin always tells me they're gears, whoops! my bad.) Then off to church where Joaquin looked absolutely ADORABLE! He and I had a shopping spree at Old Navy lately. (It was actually really funny b/c I kept consulting with Joa
quin. He had a surprising number of opinions and for the oddest reasons.) Afterwards Easter lunch with the grandparents, Aunty Boo-boo and Uncle Brian plus Great-grandma. And of course, more Easter presents! Great-grandma gave him some Peeps (which forunately he wasn't fond of. I hate the wretched things and Daniel loves them. What is wrong with him?), while Greatpa-pa and Evelyn had sent a stuffed kitty home with G
randpa for him. This thing is hysterical! You push it's paw and it says hello, then if you attempt to 'pet' it, it rolls around on the floor (literal rolling) and laughs. Very bizarre, but Joaquin loves it. He named him Felix (don't know where he got the name) and Daniel told him it was very appropriate b/c Felix means happy and he's a laughing kitty. So now Joaquin goes around telling me how Felix means happy and he's happy. But by far the most favored present was..... Tinker Toys from Grandma & Grandpa. Joaquin, of course, absolutely loves them and the suggestion that he leave them at Grandma's house as his toys there provoked intense tears and despair. He loves to build this one. And with anything handy apparently. After lunch we had the annual Easter egg hunt with our lone young person followed by a myriad of adults. However it was a lot more fun this year b/c Joaquin was so much better at finding eggs. Admittedly we didn't hide them very hard, but he actually found 85% of them himself. The other 15% with hints. Good job big boy! It was a lovely worshipful Easter with beautiful music from the choir (which we're in, so I'm just tooting our own horn here), good family time, and Joaquin actually remembering his lesson on Jesus' resurrection. Happy Easter everybody, he is risen indeed!
