We spent the first day of our spring break cavorting through two different Easter celebrations.  The first was at Gigi’s former preschool which was at the Gold Creek Community Church.  They hold pretty over the top celebrations for most of the major holidays, and Easter is no exception (on  aside note, this is a pretty progressive church: AC/DC plays on their website to promote their youth programs).

We started out at the spray-on tattoos.  I got one, Gigi got one, and so did Bradley.  Jude wanted one, like wouldn’t leave he wanted one so bad.  But each time the sprayer got near his arm he would scream bloody murder!  So, the good parents that we are, we held him down while he screamed to get the thing on him rather than wait an hour for him to make up his mind.  It was one of those moments when we felt like really weird parents, forcing their toddler to get a tattoo, who does that?  Well, apparently the Littlejohns.  He was thrilled to have it when all was said and done, but certainly a little embarrassing.

Here is Jude at the egg hunt for two year olds.  Jude got super duper competitive at this event.  At first, he was uncertain as to what the goal was, then once he realized what was going on, he was RUNNING and picking eggs as fast as he could!  In this picture, he spied the last egg on the floor, two kids were reaching for it, but Jude ran, dove and snatched and he was the victor.  While we don’t normally condone that extreme competitive nature, this time we were laughing pretty hard as we left the area.  Gigi’s hunt has no pictures because it was in the dark with only black lights to illuminate the eggs.  It was a pretty cool experience that left Gigi with a good half pound of chocolate!  We left the church and headed for the Mill Creek treasure hunt.

This was one bunny that we encountered today…

And here is the other.  Jude ran up to both and hugged them, the bunny had to squirm away from his firm embrace.  We were pleased that he seemed to love the bunnies so much, it bodes well for Disneyland and the characters who live there!

We came home, tired and well deserving of the naps we all took!  Happy Early  Easter!
