The Cislaghi's: Easter Firsts

These pictures are a little late in coming, but I didn't want to skip some of Elijah's "firsts" that he experienced during Easter weekend. The Saturday before Easter was a fun filled day.

First, Ethan and I took Elijah to his very first Easter egg hunt at our church. The little guy was not exactly sure what to think about this crazy tradition as you'll see below.

First Easter Egg Hunt

"Hmmm...what is this thing?"

"Hey Mommy, what am I supposed to do with this? And why are you taking rapid fire pictures of me?"

"Whoa...jackpot!!"

"I love Goldfish!!"

"Tastes a little funny. Must have gotten more grass than goldfish in that bite."

"Oh, there is another one."

"I wonder if there are more goldfish in here?"

"Wow, there are a ton of these little treasure filled toys."

"Maybe I should give this to Daddy to hold while I go and get some more."

Off to get more eggs.

"Sweet, found some more."

"I'll go with...this one."

"Daddy, can you help me up so I can walk?"

"I might make better time on my feet."

"On second thought, I think I am good on goldfish." Attention span, maxed out.

Daddy and Eli. You can see our very personalized first "Easter basket" is Ethan's hand.

Another sweet picture of Daddy and his little boy. Here you can see some of the other kids hunting eggs in the background too. All of the eggs are hidden very well. :)

After Elijah had found all the Easter eggs his little heart could desire, we went to another nearby church that was having an Easter Eggs-travaganza. They had all sorts of activities for the kids, but the one that captured our interest the most was a petting zoo. Elijah was very interested in the animals and seemed to enjoy this even more than the egg hunt.

First Petting Zoo

The petting zoo had llamas, which I found interesting.

...and chickens, ducks, bunnies, goats, etc.

Elijah and another boy checking out the animals.

"Whoa, Mommy, this is cool!"

"Are you seeing this?"

Going to check out the goat.

We didn't get in (the very long) line to walk through the inside of the petting zoo but just checked things out from the outside. I think at this point it worked out just as well.
