Happy Easter

Today, Aidan celebrated his very first Easter. He, of course, made out like a bandit - the Easter Bunny was very, very good to him!

From the Easter Bunny (at home), he got three books (Spongebob Squarepants Easter Parade; Brother Bear; and a Dinosaur Book), three containers of Gerber Puffs, two mesh feeders, and a Spongebob Squarepants chair that is able to be folded into a bag (like Mommy and Daddy's camping chairs!). We visited Michael at the cemetery - wished him a Happy Easter. Aidan was awake (which is unusual when we visit Michael, but so nice!) so he was able to go over to Michael's stone and wish him a Happy Easter. We were delighted to see that Grandma and Grandpa May left Michael an Easter balloon, which Aidan thought was quite interesting - he enjoyed looking at it while we talked to Michael. We also made a quick stop over to Matthew's grave, one of Michael's angel buddies.

After visiting Michael, we went over to Aunt Terri's house where Aidan had a ball playing with Aunt Terri. Grandma and Grandpa May's Easter Bunny brought Aidan some sunblock (for our trip to Florida in about a month!), an adorable little outfit, and a very soft and cuddly little stuffed lamb. Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's Easter Bunny brought Aidan a very fun Fisher Price learning puppy. He sings different songs and teaches ABCs and 123s (nothing like starting him early, right?!?) Aidan absolutely LOVES it and I'm sure will drive his father and I nuts by playing it OVER and OVER and OVER again once he learns how to make it play music! Great Aunt Carol and Great Aunt Dolly's Easter Bunn(ies) brought Aidan some really nice books and an outfit (which we're looking forward to dressing Aidan in and then bringing him to visit his Great Uncle Harry at the cemetery -- if you hear (or feel) the earth shake a little bit, then you'll know we're visiting Great Uncle Harry!).

After visiting everyone at Aunt Terri's house, we headed over to Grandma and Grandpa Ramos' house for dinner. We had a delicious ham dinner (well, Mommy and Daddy did), although Aidan DID try some mashed potatoes (which he LOVED, by the way). Aidan had fun playing with his Grandpa in his NASCAR exersaucer. Aidan and Grandpa also went for a quick walk around the block, which Aidan really enjoyed. Grandma and Grandpa also had an Easter Bunny visit and he left Aidan an Animal Planet Easter basket which included a very fun giraffe hand puppet and some candy. He also got a really cute stuffed Easter Bunny which sings (how fun!) and a sleeper. The Easter Bunny also brought Aidan a colorful pinwheel with instructions for Aidan to bring the pinwheel to Michael, which we will certainly make sure is done. All in all, we had a really nice day. Needless to say, Aidan is sleeping very soundly right now - he had a very long and exciting day! We haven't told him that he's going to be getting his four month shots tomorrow morning -- might give him some nightmares tonight and we don't want any of that now, do we?
