Happy Easter Tooth Fairy!

Easter weekend was so fun this year! We stayed at my parents house for the weekend to enjoy conference and all the Easter excitement. After the Saturday morning session, Daddy and I were going to go watch Wendy run like the wind at her track meet while Mama, Aiden, and Tyson napped. Unfortunately, right as we got out of the car at the track, Daddy got called on a transport. I drove him home and decided not to go back to the meet because Wendy's next race might not even happen until the afternoon session started. :( I love watching her run though. She's amazing! Currently she's ranked 1st in the region for the 100 and 200 meter and 12th in the state for the 200 meter! Go Wend!
After the afternoon session Mama tricked us into coming outside for an Easter egg hunt. (This is what she had secretly been doing instead of napping.) There weren't actually any eggs to find, but plenty of treats! Tyson, Wendy, and I all hunted in the backyard (Tyson said he hadn't felt like a little kid like that for a long time) and Aiden watched us while he sat on the lawn and experienced grass on his toes and hands for the first time. It was very cute to see his funny reaction. I sadly didn't get any pictures though. :(
Sunday morning brought surprises from both the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Along with a yummy breakfast, we all had full Easter baskets on our plates.
Please ignore that I had been out of bed for only a few minutes, and hadn't used a brush or makeup. Just focus on my adorable smiling Aiden.
Aiden loved his basket full of surprises and was more than happy to smile for the camera!
Also that morning, as Aiden opened his mouth for the first bite of cereal, I noticed something different on his bottom gum! I guess the Tooth Fairy decided to visit on Easter morning as well because it most definitely was a tiny, sharp little tooth! I was very impressed with how he handled his first tooth. I've been dreading teething time, but I had no idea one was coming until I actually saw it and felt it. Way to be brave Aiden! I can't wait until it comes up farther and I can get a picture of it. Right now the only way to prove that it's there is to sacrifice a finger to it's sharpness or catch a millisecond glimpse of it while the spoon is on it's way in. Otherwise Aiden's tongue covers it up.
After conference sadly ended, we all worked to pull together a fun Easter dinner. This cute bunny was my main contribution. It was my first time making one so I was proud with how it turned out.
I also helped with the egg nests. Like I said, it was a wonderful and relaxing weekend and it's always fun to be spoiled. HAPPY EASTER!!
