Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was a not our traditional Easter, but it was so much fun. Landon woke up and went through his Easter basket. The first thing he asked about was if his magic jelly beans sprouted into lollipops. I told him a story about how those particular jelly beans were magic and if he planted them, then they would sprout into lollipops.

He was so excited to see if the jelly beans really were magic. He asked to check on these before he even asked to see what the Easter Bunny had brought him.

He then checked out his loot from the Easter Bunny. By the looks of it he was very happy.

Afterwards we ate breakfast and then headed out for Disney on Ice. My mom's main gift to Landon was tickets to the show. This year the theme was Toy Story. Landon had no idea about it until we got there. To say he was excited would be an understatement. He even dressed as Woody. He thought it was going to be a typical day of shopping at the grocery store while he was in his costume. He put on his costume as if it were a normal day- only Landon!

We had the most amazing seats- right next to the ice on the floor. It only added to Landon's excitement. He was all smiles throughout the entire performance.

Right around this point Woody saw that Landon was dressed as him. He gave Landon a tip of his hat and a thumbs up. It made Landon's day!

 When it was all over I asked Landon what his favorite part was. He couldn't stop talking about the Ken and Barbie scenes. I have to admit that they were my favorite as well. Those scenes were hilarious and filled with lots of music.

Landon even stood up on his chair to dance along to the songs. The little girl next to him quickly followed.

Landon made out like a bandit during the performance. Over priced cotton candy, snow cones, and a light up toy all at the same time. Reason #101 why Landon thinks that Mom Mom is way cooler than Mommy!

 At the end of the performance I had Landon take a picture next to the Toy Story 3 blocks. It didn't quite turn out, but he's still adorable!

Easter 2012

I hope everyone had as good of an Easter as we had. Our Easter weekend was a very busy one so it will be in a series of posts. I'll start with the Easter egg hunt that we went to at the zoo. It was our first time going to the one at the zoo. I think we found an egg hunt that we will be going to year after year. They did an amazing job at separating the age groups. Other places have tried and failed miserably. The older siblings are usually running into the egg area and trampling the younger ones. At the zoo they only allowed the child in that particular age group (for Landon it was 3 and under) and one parent on one side of the field. The other children and family members were to wait on the other side of the field where the rope remained up at all times. Landon finally did not get trampled on by an older child and he walked away smiling instead of crying. He even walked away with a prize winning egg! He won a stuffed monkey and he hung it up in his room as soon as we came home.

Waiting patiently for the egg hunt to begin.

 

He's been so brave this year with the Easter Bunny. We haven't had a single meltdown this year due to fear! Thankfully any Easter Bunny we've encountered has been without eye glasses. Landon says that he is scared of the ones with glasses.

His monkey that he won!

We also dyed some eggs on Friday. Landon wasn't as excited about this as I thought he would be. He was a good sport and did a few so that I could have my memory of us dyeing eggs together.

He came running to the table once I told him that the eggs had dried enough for him to put stickers on them!
