Evan had a great Easter this year. The day before Easter we took E to see the Easter Bunny, made some Easter crafts (decorated paper eggs) and enjoyed the rest of the day playing games and relaxing. We ended up taking him to Abt (a huge appliance store) to get his picture taken with the Easter Bunny – as I was not interested at all in going to a mall…especially Woodfield where the parking lot and line for the Easter Bunny would have been out of control. Thank you Abt for making the Santa/Easter Bunny experiences painless!! On Sunday Evan woke up and found that the Easter Bunny left him a basket full of candy and a Buzz Lightyear Bubble gun (blows bubbles).
After we got up and around, we went over to Phil and Ginny’s house for an Easter brunch where the Easter Bunny left Evan something really cool – a Power Wheels John Deere Gator. It has two speeds, reverse, a back that you can fill with stuff and dump, as well as two seats – both with their own cup holders. Yes – I am quite jealous. As soon as Evan saw this – he got really excited and ran to it faster than I have ever seen him run. Within 15 minutes or so he had backing up, steering, and general driving down. He did have his occasional “crash” but as Evan will tell you “accidents happen”.
Evan ended up riding on this for hours and at 4pm when we headed home, Evan passed out in the back of the car…and ended up sleeping until this morning. A big thanks for all the cards/gifts for Evan – he had a blast!
