Easter...

It was the annual Easter Egg hunt at my parents house on Sunday. This was the first year JT was really able to participate and know what he was doing. The first time he was about 4 months old and could barely hold on to an egg. Last year he was 1.5 and kind of stunk up the joint even though we practiced. He couldn't hold the basket and get an egg.

This year he did much better but still dawdled around and didn't have that killer instinct to horde all the eggs.

Here is the competition...I mean cousins:

JT was lesiurely gathering eggs with his head start:

This year there was something new...hula hoop contests. Apparently hula-hooping is like riding a bike, once you learn you never forget how. This was Aunty Paul's idea....she is an elementary school teacher so I bet she practices all the time.

But then Aunty Nora did it too...and she said she hasn't hula hooped in 50 years!

Aya NEVER hula hooped before so this was her first time! We all know she can't ride a bike either, but at least this time she didn't get hurt.

Happy Easter!

I had never tried before... Must have been all those Saturdays spent in J-school, followed by golf lessons until I was 14... and don't forget those oh so helpful piano lessons I took... Didn't leave much time for riding a bicycle or hula hooping.

I think I actually did have a few good turns, unlike Miles who's hula hoop just fell straight to the ground!
