Kendrick's First Easter

Our Easter festivities began with frosting sugar cookies on Friday when I got home from school. We were going to take them to the Jackson Family Easter Egg hunt the next day. So, I put Kendrick in his "bumbo" chair so he could see what was going on while I frosted the cookies.

Well, as I was frosting, Kendrick started to get hungry, so I went over to the pantry to get him some food. I had just moved the cookies, and so they were in Kendrick's reach now, but I forgot that I had done that! Anyway, I turned back around to this:In that short amount of time, Kendrick had grabbed two cookies! He had mashed up one in his hands!

I grabbed my camera and took some pictures. He was having fun playing with the smashed cookie. He even licked his fingers a little and liked what he was tasting! Oh well, he only ruined two cookies--and I learned a valuable lesson, don't leave the cookies in Kendrick's reach!On Saturday, April 23rd, we woke up and got ready to go down to Nephi for the egg hunt. Here is Kendrick in his bunny ears!This is one of his Easter outfits too.

So, Judy set up some tables in the garage to accommodate everyone. We decided to go out and find all of the eggs first. Each child has an assigned number and the same amount of eggs to find.Cade Nielson and some of the other kids out finding eggs!Kendrick and I starting the egg hunt.
