I can't believe it's already Easter! Even though it's a bit early this year, it still blows my mind... it seems like just yesterday we were celebrating Zachary's first Christmas! What a weekend we had... starting with a Friday night visit to the Easter Bunny and then one of our famous road trips to New Jersey for lots of fun, food and family!
Zachary's first trip to visit the Easter Bunny was not at all what we expected (which isn't a bad thing). As soon as Len got home from work, we headed over to the local mall, anticipating a long line of excited, anxious children awaiting their turn to sit on the Easter Bunny's lap. Instead, we found no line at all (it had just emptied out a few minutes prior to our arrival, according to the cashier). They actually had to wait for us to get Zach out of his stroller and primped for his big debut with the great bunny himself! (Can you feel the excitement and anticipation?) Though we weren't sure exactly how Zachary would respond to a great-big-giant-stranger-bunny, much to our pleasure, he seemed mesmerized by the whole thing, and was so cute sitting and posing!Our weekend adventure continued Saturday at the Goodman Grandparents house, where all of his maternal Great Aunts and Uncles came over for a celebration and to see just what a big boy Zachary is becoming. He was truly a charmer as he was passed from Aunt to Aunt, to Uncle, to Aunt, to Grandma, to Aunt, to Uncle, back to Grandma, to Uncle, to Poppie, to Aunt etc. (you get my point)! What a trooper... I think he just absolutely loved all of the attention (he's such a ham) and can really work a room! Len and I laughed as we changed his diaper right before everyone arrived... we said our good-byes to the little man, knowing full-well we wouldn't have our hands on him again until it was time for his next feeding (hee hee)! Everyone (but Len and I surprisingly enough) took so many pictures of the evening, so as soon as we receive electronic copies of them, I'll add a special entry dedicated just to the party!
Easter Sunday was spent both at Mom-Mom's and Aunt Lynne's houses. We first stopped by Mom-Mom's to play with cousins Hailey and CJ (who were anxiously awaiting our arrival) after church was over.
We then all retreated over to Aunt Lynne's for an afternoon of exchanging Easter baskets and eating, eating, eating! Zachary was pretty pooped at this point, as it had been a long couple of days with a very short night of sleep (for Mommy and Daddy, too). He did manage to wake up later in the afternoon to play with some of his presents, though!
We rounded off the day with a late night stop at Grandma and Poppie's on our way back home to Bel Air. Though it was exhausting, we had a WONDERFUL weekend celebrating Zachary's first Easter!!
