Easter Celebrations!

Here is Dan and Jacob with their Chocolate bunnies . We had a small, slightly pathetic Easter egg hunt in our front room for Jacob. A few plastic eggs randomly placed on the carpet and couches, all could be seen in plain sight. There was a few inches of snow and I wasn't about to have him stomping around in snow looking for eggs.
Ready.. set.. go! Here is the start of the 2010 Glassford Family Easter Egg Hunt! Who is looking for the candy and eggs? Jacob. His only competition where adults... and Richie.
Easter was cold, there was even snow Easter morning. So most of the day, besided the egg hunt, we where inside hanging out. Derek had fun being held by grandma, along with his aunts and cousins.
Jacob loves playing with grandpa, here he is organizing his cars.
Grandma was holding Derek so I could eat.... it was such a luxury to be able to eat a full meal without holding Derek or having him cry.
After the Easter egg hunt Jacob showed everyone his collection of eggs. He took them all out of his basket and organized them by color.

We had the Astin Family Easter Egg Hunt this weekend. We had it at Rotary Park, one of my favorite parks. Because Jacob had no real competition at the Glassford Easter Egg Hunt, he did not expect the onslaught of cousins that where also going for the candy. He soon realized that he had to find the eggs and put them in his bag fast, or else.
Not only did Jacob have to quickly scavenge the park for eggs because of the multitude of children... he had to get the eggs before Grandpa did! After getting enough eggs, Jacob decided to help others find the eggs. He would pick up an egg, and go stick it in someone else's basket. Below is a picture of Dan and Jacob enjoying the loot.
